I'm looking to get some Vossen VVSCV1 wheels for my IS250. Mods I currently have are, Megan coils dropped about 2in from factory height and no fender liners. I was wondering if a set of 245/30/20x9 w +38 in the front and 285/25/20x10.5 w +42 Rear offset would work. What issues would I run into here? Should the back tire be a lil narrower? All input is greatly appreciated.

I'm about to take the plunge for the Vossen VVS-CV1 with 20x9 +38 at the front and 20x10.5 +42 at the rear. I'm planning to use 245/30/20 and 285/30/20 as my tire sizes. Just want to double make sure there will be no rubbing with this setup, with stock height and no modification to fenders etc.

Will I get a flush look with this setup?

If in the future I decide to drop the height by an inch or something will modifications be needed for the fenders?

What brand of ultra or max high performance summer tires do you recommend? So far I'm only looking at Yokohama Advan Sport.

Thanks for the help!

Default rim and tire help for IS250

Hey Guys,

I know there has been alot of wheel and tire fitment questions and i have been trying to do as much research and reading everyones comments and alot of them i have factored. Im about to place an order for these rims and tires but just want to make sure on the fitment and tire sizes before going ahead. please help me and give me your thoughts.

This is my dilemma.
2010 IS250 AWD (BC racing coils are being shipped right now)

19" rims
8.5 front +35
9.5 rear +40

now as for the tires, is 235/35/19 f and 265/30/19 r going to be ok for this setup. ill be lowering it enough that i wont make fender mods and enough to get around. for some reason some of the sites i looked at the tires only offer 275 rears and not 265. if i end up with 275 on the rears will this be bad. or should i stick with 265? (if i can find them)

i originally was going to get falken 452 but i read some reviews that these are crap. im willing to pay a few dollars more if needed but im just looking for best bang for the buck. is the NITTO NT555 any good? or is there another set of tires that is a few dollars more that you recommend?


sorry guys, im just so new to this car. i just want to be sure before ordering and dont end up with buyers remorse.

thanks in advance

no, 20x11 +50=20x10 +41, you don't need any fender work.
