hi new to the forum, just got my 08 is250, and i was thinking about puting a set of 19*8 40 offset wheels on to car, will the stock suspension work (will drive it in Canadian winter, not thinking of lowering), and what size tire should i get to stay in spec with the awd. Thanks in advance guys, really confused here.😊
225/35/19
235/35/19
For a bit more comfort (taller sidewall) you can do 225/40/19

Hello, I'm new to the forum and hope someone can help me out. I'm looking to purchase a set of OEM 18 inch F-Sport wheels with tires off of a 2012 IS350 RWD. I apologize but I do not have the specs as seller isn't really listing them.
Ideally I would like a clean "stockish" look and think they would be a nice touch. Also looking for suspension ideas as my original struts need replacing. I was thinking of going stock with some kind of sport springs as I still want a comfortable ride.I will ask this in the suspension thread but if anyone here can assist that would be grand!

If you want to stay with shocks/springs combo, have it slightly lowered and still retain factory comfort then look for linear springs like "Swift" or "Tein H-Tech".

BC Racing and Tein covers have good reviews and quite a number of people on the forums have them installed with seemingly good performance.
Stockish will mean you'll not be running a staggered setup (if you're AWD) but the 18" wheels definitely are an option for stock. You can even choose to upsize a bit... I have 235/50R17 as opposed to the 225/45R17 my car came work and apart from the very slight occasional rubbing weekend I take a corner too aggressively... Ride has been good.
Cheers!

Side note, I saw a nice set of ISF wheels locally here and wondered if I could get away with them being staggered and 19s?
Thanks again for the advice!

need to figure out 16" wheels for my 2IS...
Hi!
I recently bought a 2010 IS 250 AWD. I live on a narrow, steep dirt road in the woods, so I *REALLY* need more sidewall in the winter. I'm trying to setup with 16" wheels for the winter. Right now I am running the stock 17s.
Are 16 x 6.5 5 x 114.3 w/ 45 mm offset ok or do I really need to be looking for 16 x 7"? Or even wider? I suspect I'm going to end up w/ 215/50/16 tires (narrower for better traction, naturally). I know, I know, I'm going the exact opposite direction from most wheel fitment questions, but I really need to get this solved. I'd love to get a set of steelies, powder coat 'em red and call it a day, but I'm having trouble finding steels that will work for this vehicle.
I'm hoping someone here can talk to me about smaller wheel fitment concerns with this vehicle.
TIA!

Just be careful as Matrix with 1.8L engine came with 5x100. The ones with 2.4L are 5x114.3 and they fit fine IS250
Older RAV4 would have another great choice of wheels in those sizes.

Hi team,
2008 IS350
Getting new wheels soon. 19x9.5 squared +35 offset and was wondering if I could squeeze in a 275/30R19 tire in the rear without rolling the guards.
Also would a 265/30 fit without rolling the guards.
These are my two options.
Please help

Esr rf2 19"
Vehicle: 2012 IS250 AWD.
Oem: 17"x 8", 10 spoke (dual fat spoke pattern), 45mm offset.
Tires: Continental 225/55/R17
New setup: 19" x 8.5", ESR RF2 in hyper silver finish. 30mm offset. Also added 5mm spacers on the rears.
Tires: imove gen3 235/35/ZR19
Results: No rubbing whatsoever at stock height. Rims perfectly flush with fenders front and rear, imo. Overall increase in diameter 0.8% (up to 2% is usually considered acceptable, with no negative impact on drivetrain).

For the back you want to have offset around ET 15. So the math is ET 40 + 25mm spacer will give you ET 15. It should be very close to flush.
For the rear 25mm you can buy spacers with pressed in studs and those are very easy to work with.
For the front you need to replace stock studs for the longer ones.
I did something similar few years ago
