I have a 2012 is250 AWD and running on H&R sport springs which is a mild drop 1.4 front and 1.3 back. My question is.... I'm getting 19" staggered wheels but the guy at the shop is telling me he wants to put all 4 even 225-35-19 is this possible? I see all these different numbers here I told him I want them lined up with the fender on both sides I don't like it inside or sticking out.

Anybody please with IS250 AWD and on H&R sport springs please let me know what correct set up including tires to run. I want them flush all around from what u understand it means lined up with the fenders and I don't want it to rub I don't want to do any fender roll. I'm going to the wheel shop tomorrow I just want to be on the right page with the shop before they sell me anything just to get my money. Thanks

Someone offered me Some Work Gnosis GS4 20x9 +12 20x10 -2. How much work will be needed to make these fit? I'm going to have spc ball joints and megan rear camber kit installed with bc coilovers. 2 front fenders are rolled and rear fenders are shaved w/slight pull.

currently running a 255/30/20 on an 11 rim in the rear. no tire rubbing only the rim. I fit a 275/30 but the new height of the sidewall is hitting the rear tabs. This is after raising the rear 1.5 inches. I dont want to remove the rear bumper tabs and i cut back right before the mounting point of the bumper bracket.
can i run a 295/25 and still have enough space to lower the car down again. the height is the same as the 255/30 but the width comes into play if it will hit the quarter panel. im already at 4 degrees of camber.

Never stagger your wheels ( width wise ) . Instead you should stagger the offsets with the same widths overall. Staggered widths on an awd car will ruine the center differential.

what size wheels are you looking At?

I would custom wide body the car . Cause those offsets are aggressive. You would have to run 225's on the front and 235's with a lot of camber (-6 to -9 ) to make it fit

295/25's will be about 10mm wider then 275/30's but will be slightly shorter then the 275/30's .

The wheels are 19" 8.5 with 35 offset front. 19" 9.5 with 35 offset in the back. My tires are 225-35-19.
Is this correct and safe on my awd if not what's the right set up?

I say go 9.5 all around and on the back put a 5mm spacer or 10mm spacer for the staggered look. 225/35 on a 8.5 is the right size but on a 9.5 it's slight stretch.

You can google image the tire sizing and see for yourself

did you get the wheels ?
check this thread out
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-part-uno.html

stagger will work as long as you stay within rolling diameter
you can always play safe and run different offsets also
I was on 19x8.5f 235/35/19 and 19x10r 275/30/19,
I am currently running 19x9.5f and 19x10.5r with same tyre setup

I wont be able to help you with H&R flush setup though, but will suggest reading the awd stagger thread , tons of info on there

I DID READ IT BUT TOO MANY PAGES OF DIFFERENT NUMBBERS AND EVERYONE CLAIMS THEY HAVE THE RIGHT SET UP. IM ALL CONFUSED PLUS PEOPLE WITHOUT AWD CARS POSTING THIER OPINIOMS OF THEIR PERSONAL CARS IT ONLY CONFUSES PEOPLE MORE. I DIDNT GET THE WHEELS YET BECAUSE IM STILL NOT SURE WHATS BEST. I DONT WANT TO MESS UP THE CAR. I JUST SPOKE TO SOMEONE YESTERDAY THAT TOLD ME MY SET UP SHOULD BE FINE. 8.5 front 35 offset and 9.5 rear 35 offset with 225 35 19 tires.

I think you getting it confused, ppl post their setups to let everyone know what they are running , for how long /if it works/if its safe /how good it looks etc. it practically helps the 2IS AWD community.
also most posts on the awd thread are for awd cars , this thread you posted in is actually for RWD cars

both setups you have are fine, 8.5f and 9.5r will work with 225 35 tyres
post pics in the AWD thread when you are done
