I thought he said somewhere that he bought a 350 and gave the AWD to the wifey.

Default A different kind of offset question, need some help

I'm getting new rims and I have an AWD IS250 and I'm not going staggared, but wanted to go staggared look. Here's what I am planning to go with:

19x8.5 all around

Front +38 offset 1.8 inch lip
Rear +30 offset 3 inch lip

lowered on F-sport springs, approx 1.2 inches

Does anyone know if the rear offset is too agressive? Basically I'm trying to get as much lip as I can for the rear and still be flush with the fender without rubbing. Just wanted to know what your opinions are. Any advice would be much appreciated.

alright, thanks Andre. Is that your current set up right now?

It looks like with the my rear setup, it will stick out 16mm's, will that be flush enough without rubbing or can I go even lower offset?

A +30 offset with 8.5"s won't stick out at all in the rear. I'm running a 10" in back with a +30 and it just barely sticks out at stock height, with a drop, it tucks slightly.

most wheel shop guys guess alot...and it really depends on talking to someone who has that set up or has set a car up like that.

Default Need opinions and suggestions on offsets!

Hey everyone, new to the forum. I own a IS250 AWD lowered on NF210 1 - 1.5" drop rear and .8 - 1.3" drop front (settled).

Was hoping i can get some expert advice from you guys on rims and tires.
I am going staggered on AWD and i understand the consequences but im keeping the same diameter.

My question is am i able to fit these on my IS without the wheels hitting the fender while going over a speed bump

F:19x9 +31 245/35/19
R:19x10 +24 245/35/19

Reason why i chose this offset because trying to go as flush as possible. Since im not slammed, hoping this setup wont rub.

Default Offset questions for a newbie

Hey everyone I finally have enough to purchase a new set of wheels for my IS 250 RWD. The question is though, what offset would match perfectly for my setup? I am currently dropped on H&R Springs which is a 1.4'' F and 1.3'' R drop. And I was thinking about using 19x8 19x9 with +30 offset all around. What do you guys think? I'm kinda looking into a setup that would close the wheel gap and not have any rubbing. Any comments would be much appreciated!

Haha I hope it will look good. I just don't know if I will have to roll my fenders to run that kind of setup.
