Those offsets are better, but you will still need to roll all four fenders and you will need a 'natural pull' at the least in the rear. And yes, relocating the fender/bumper tabs would be an absolutely great thought.
On a side note, our cars were just not meant to have aggressive wheels. with that said, having aggressive wheels is possible if you don't mind modifying fenders and spending the time and money to make it right. And in order to make that process a little more hassle-free you need to run stretched tires with aggressive wheels. It's just a must. And so with that setup you have listed above, i'd say go with 225/35/19 (F) and 245/35/19 (R). Just my opinion, you can wait for others to chime in if you please.

I'm trying to figure out if Work VS-XX sized:
19x10 et26 at the front
19x10 et23 at the rear
Will fit my ISF (not sure if offsets and backspacing are the same for the isx50s)
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I've got some ok looking 19's from my recently sold TSX which I'm looking to put onto my 08 IS250 RWD (since I have them laying around). Problem is they're not staggered.... 19x8.5 +35 (225/35/19 tyres on 2)
I believe the fronts will be fit quite nicely (with 225/35), but the rears won't be aesthetically pleasing. Looking to run a spacer & a 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 rear tyres to give it a fatter (grip style) rear appearance & add a spacer.
Car will only be dropped to approx one finger gap all round (undecided on springs or coilovers) as it's a daily driver & I'm not looking to do more than a simple guard roll (bit of minor shaving ok). Don't want any rubbing, except for maybe the odd event when I have a 3 rear passengers & a loaded boot.
With this in mind, would a 15mm spacer be ideal? Or should I go for a 20mm or even 25mm rear spacer?
Any proven/recommended spacers?
Cheers,
Jay

1. the sidewalls for a 245 or 255 will be upright on a 8.5"-wide wheel.
2. to run spacers to effectively reduce the offset of the wheels, you'll need to run stretched tires. on a 8.5"-wide wheel, you'll need run at least 215 for starters.
i would recommend starting with the standard +1 sizing for the 2is: 225/35-19 + 255/35-19.
if you really want to run spacers, 5mm is about it until you have to modify the fenders for tire clearance.
1. ISx50's run 5x114.3, so those won't bolt up without adapters.
2. even if they could bolt up, you'll need to run stretched tires due to the widths and aggressive offsets.
look elsewhere for something that actually fits.
