So im thinkin about gettin 19 x 8.5 non staggered rims for my IS350. What are the pros and cons? Thanks in advance

why would you not stagger it? all the power is going to the rear wheels so you would normally want a wider tire there.

I think he want it that way, so he can rotate his tire.

In addition to rotating the tires, it would probably reduce the understeer quite a bit. On my previous car (G35 Coupe 6MT), you had to maintain a certain amount of stagger or the VDC would not function correctly. I don't know how it is for the IS. On the Camaro SS I owned, it was fitted with 275/40-17s all the way around, making for fairly neutral handling. That is until you gave it a bit of gas :-p

I'm asking because I can get a deal for a nonstaggered setup.

Anyone else with a 350 that put non staggered wheels on their ride?

Hmm...I wouldn't go non-staggered due to several reasons, but I guess saving money is more important to you.

Check out the after market wheel thread among the stickies.

There are quite a few people with non-staggered setups.

Non-staggered on an IS350...not the best move. Fork up some more money and get some lean.

Sorry but IMO, a RWD car with non-staggered rims is a bad choice, I find it has a little better handling, I mean the 350 doesnt put out like 400lbs tq so its not like its going to fish-tail all the time. But if money is your issue, than go for it.

my wheels are only 19x8.5 all around with 225's front 255's rear. works fine.

Why not just run the same width wheel and same tires but run a lower offset in the back? That will give you more lip in the back for the appearance of a staggered setup.

9.5 in the front may look funny.. Won't it stick out the fender?

I don't agree with your statement. Maybe it has better handling for your driving style, but doesn't necessarily mean it's decrease in performance in anyway.
