If you want to run those specs I'd run spacers to help flush it out.

Default Wheel Sizes

Wheel Sizes

I asked for suggestions on wheels sizes not too long ago and I think I am going to go with 19x9's all the way around to keep tire costs down. Can a get a suggeation on what offsets I should get, here are my options:

19x9 +20
19x9 +37
19x9 +42

Also, I am planning on getting 225/35's, does that sound right?

Thanks.

you plan on dropping the car? what look are you going for? you want a conservative set up? aggressive? personally i would go with 19x9 +20 but thats my own taste.

if you want something mild, you can go with the 19x9 +37 and run 235/35 tires

It's going to look funny imo, I would go 19x9 34-40 and 19x10.5 35-44 with tires 225/35 and 255 or 265/35 assuming you don't want any to a little fender mod.

What about this? 19x9 +40, 19x9 +34 with 235/35/19. Weak offsets, but no fender mods. I have this set up for my AWD.

I have the FSport Springs so a little bit of a drop. I do want it to be fairly aggressive but I don't want to do any modding to the fenders.

Can anyone else give me some more advice? I would like to try and keep the same wheel width all the way around.

Thanks again.

Default Wheel advice: Non staggered on IS250RWD

Sorry i'm a noob to wheel.

I'm looking to get these rim but they only come in 18x8 and not 18x8.5
5x114.3+40 mm offset

You think it would be okay all Four 18x8 rim, and run bigger tire on the rear to have the staggered look?

Would I run into any problem performance/roughness wise?

Just gonna add to this thread rather than start a new one:

So I've been looking at Volk SF Winnings in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with a 38 and 42 offset respectively, but I found a set meant for a G35 coupe, and was wondering if this set-up would work my 350. The stats are as follows:

SIZE: 19"
WIDTH: 10.5 Rear, 9.5 Front
OFFSET: +19 Rear, +17 Front
LIP SIZE: 3 5/8 Inches Rear, 2 5/8 Inches Front

Would this work or is it too aggressive. Should I keep looking for a set in the original specs I wanted? Thanks in advance for all your opinions.

Why dont you want staggered? Your RWD, youll be fine. If you had AWD, you might have problems, but thats not the case....

I think he would get staggered if he could, but the wheel he wants is only in 18x8 as they do not offer 18.5. Your right tho, he should be fine staggered or not

hey.. you should run a 19x8.5 +32 (235-35-19) and 19x10 +38 (265-30-19 or 275-30-19). They will fit perfect and flush.

These two lexus's have the same set up...
