Sup guys new to clublexus here. Just bought a new 2010 250 RWD and I know I want 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in the rear. In order to get a quote for the wheels I want, I need the exact offsets. I plan on lowering the car later and I want to be just a little tucked behind the fenders (with no rolling or other mods). What exact offsets do you guys recommend? Thanks!

Front wheels : 19x8.5 ET35
Rear wheels : 19x9.5 ET35

What you think of these fitments , are they possible and will they be ok as fitment goes

I hear this is an ideal fitment for those NOT looking to roll their fenders. i.e. this is as flush as you can go before rolling/pulling.

sounds good too me then and i have some cheeky spacers lying around too

This is the golden rule of thumb stance:

front: 19x8.5 +22 (mild stretch w/ 225/35/19)
rear: 19x9.5 +22 (mild stretch w/ 245/35/19)

Use this offset calculator to judge your prospective specs vs. the above posted:

If your less aggressive, you wont rub.

If your more aggressive you will rub.

If you don't care about rubbing, go nutz, but the above specs is the EXACT borderline as to where you will, or will not rub. Go 1mm less, or 1mm more. Thats the 1mm that will decide if you will rub or not.

You can go slimmer on tires (which I don't recommend) and you save yourself like 5mm or so, or you can go w/ thicker tires and trim about 5mm on offsets.

I plan to get these wheels

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...2&wd=18&rw=7.5

Will put 225/40-18 on all corners on the 07 AWD and may use a 1/4 spacer on the rear to move the rears out if needed.

The wheels are an 18 x 7.5 with +45mm offset

i would go wider, isnt 7.5" smaller than stock awd wheels. try like 8.5" or 9"

I hear ya and am all about some wideness, however I dont care to drag extra unsprung weight on a 200hp car if I dont have to. If I get a good set of tires like S drives or Neo Gens I would think it will be fine for my girlfriend to drive. I am dropping the car on M & H springs so need to ensure there is not rubbing.

7.5 +45mm will be very sunk in. Even in the fronts. I suggest a 8.5 +35mm with a 235 tire. Even with a drop you will not rub.

Thank you Sir. I might have to look at the 19 inch wheels. They have +35 and +45mm wheels in wider sizes. I just hate those damned 19" tire prices

This wheel is 19 x 8 in both +35 and +45. I could use the higher offset up front and lower in the rear for staggered look right? I need to fill those rear flared fenders somehow.

Found a really nice deal on some 20s but I am not sure about tire sizes and drop. The wheels are

20X8.5
5-114.3
45SM

I think 235/30-20 would work but not sure I would be able to drop the car on M&H springs since they go so low? The tires size is 2.19% higher with a .40 higher overal diameter. Any thoughts?

I have done quite a few searches for M&H springs and what people are getting under the car with the large drop but cant find much tried and true data.

Alright after ALOT of research I think I have found the right setup. Since I want to lower with M&H springs I need to ensure that the wheels are not flush and cant hit the fender lip so the setup I have choses in below.

I want the rears to stick out farther than fronts to give that staggered appearance and fill those big *** rear fender wells. Any and all comments are welcome

Car is an 97 IS250 AWD

I was always under the impression that 19x8.5+22 (F) & 19x9.5+22 (R) was for flushness and that if you lowered your car you would need fender mods. Is this incorrect? I thought 19x8.5+35 (F) & 19x9.5+35 (R) was for near-flush without fender mods.

is 19x9.0 +30 on 225/35-19 and 19x10+43 on 265/30 fit on a shaved rear fender... the fronts.. what do i have to do?

You should clear that without fender mods.
