is that a question, if it its, you have to roll and pull fronts, pull rear, drop on coils to tuck tire so you can get neg camber, run no bigger than 245 in a 35 series tire in the rear, or a 265 in a 30 series. front you need a 215/35.

that one has been answered a bunch
here is my 10.5" +22 with a 245/35 in the rear. yes i rubbed because i didnt pull the fenders in the rear because i was selling the car.

Just purchased some XXR 006 rims: 18x8.5 fr 18x9.5 rr. All 4 are +35. What tire size would you guys recommend. Daily driving, would like comfort, but also want a good combination. I was looking at 225/40's in the front and 245/40's in the rear.

Hey guys, will these sizes fit my 07 is350 lowered on H&R springs with NO FENDER MODS:

TSW Willow
20x10 40mm offset 275/30/20
20x8.5 40mm offset 225/30/20 (I know these fit already actually)

Vossen VVS 0086
20x10.5 40mm offset 275/30/20
20x9 38mm offset 225/30/20

Or is 235/30/20 a better choice for the front?


I don't want to have a crazy stretched look, just really do not want to have any rubbing and do NOT want have to mod my fenders. I don't drive with 4 people in my car often but I want the option if need be.

Can someone tell me if 235/55/17 is too big for the IS350? I'm concern with rubbing. Depending on the answers, I might get this for my winter tire. Thanks!!

Ok, I agree with that. Now with the rears, Can i go safely go with 265/30/20 without rubbing issues? 255 looks a little too stretched for my taste.

What's the lowest offset we can use on these cars with 20's and 225/30/20 and 255/30/20 (or 265/30/20) without needing fender mods? Seems like the perfect offset would be right around 34-38 to be flush but not stick out past the fender line.

I just got some wheels for my IS350 and need some input on tire sizes:

Wheels specs are 19x9 +38 front, and 19x10 +40 rear. Would 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear be a proper fit? My car isn't lowered that much (Fsport springs).

im not too sure what the lowest offsets for 20's you could go. i wasnt even sure on what my 20's were. and you could run 265/30 just have to shave completely

front is way to big. go 235/35 front and 275/30 rear if you want alot of tire
