And last but not least would these fit? I think i will need to run a spacer for the front?

The fronts are 20x9 (+34 offset) and the rears are 20x10 (+37), 245/35 up front and 275/30 in back

never heard of them.

those fit fine, but not with those tire sizes.

no spacers necessary.

Can I run staggered 18x8, 18x8.5 wheels with 225/40/18 & 255/40/18 tires on my IS250 AWD?

NO, 255/35/18 would be better.

Not going on a AWD, but will be going on my RWD
19x9.5 +35 Front (yes 19's)
20x10 +35 Rear (yes NOT 19's) I know it sounds weird.

245/35/19 tire front
285/30/20 tire rear

Fenders rolled and rear fenders will be pulled along with heating up and molding the fender liners on all 4 corners... Will I rub still? Keep in mind by fender pull in the rear we're talking about half an inch nothing more.

most of it will depend on your ride height, but safest bet is 225/35-19 + 255/35-19.

235/35-19 + 265/30-19 might run into clearance issues, but possible without fender modifications. you might need to heat-gun the fender liners away from the tires.

Doesn't sound too weird to me. On my IS300 I ran an 18x10 rear and 17x9.5 front

Well AWD you cannot run different diameters front and rear because it will mess up the AWD system.

Hi all,

I am getting some custom made concave five spokes and I need to know what offsets to tell them so they clear my calipers. Also would like to know what size tires to run.

I have a 06 IS350
H&R Springs
Fronts 19 x 8.5
Rears 19 x 10

many thanks this thread is priceless!

Here is what they look like: http://www.lomaforged.com/alloy%20cu...heel%20rsr.htm

rarely does offset dictate caliper clearance, although lower-offset wheels have more caliper clearance than its higher-offset counterpart.

but if given that those wheels will have caliper clearance with high (<40) and low (< 20) offsets, quickest and easiest way is to copy forgestar's specs for the 2is.

front = 19x8.5 +34, rear = 19x10+42. here's how it'll look:

Then try 235/35/19 Front and 255/35/19 Rear for better wheel protection. I run this set up with 8.5+35Front and 9.5+36 Rear which is a little aggressive than yours and having no problem. 225/35/19 is ver skinny and has no side curb protection at all.

ProjectDNA is right, very minor heat gun is needed at the back part of the front wheel well liner to prevent rubbing while turning (I did it already and the fronts are now cleared)
