Default Will My Set Up Work

Hey guys, i'm new here and have a few questions. I have an Is250 awd 2009. I wanted to know would this set up work for my car. Right now i'm running 17x7 all round (oem)
Will this set up work?

19x8.5+35 (enkei rainjin)
235/35/19 (hancook v12)
That's the front
19x9.5+35 (enkei rainjin)
275/30/19 (hancook v12)
The rear
Will i need spacers? And i'm getting ex Coilovers soon. I already have the rims

You have an AWD. Sometimes people run into problems when they don't run a square setup like oem. Staggered wheels are usually for RWD. Also when lowering AWD people have had issues with their axles.

Square setup means that all four wheels are the same width.

People say that the "rolling diameters" need to be the same, but eventually people reported running into problems....
Just to be on the safe side I went with a "square" setup.

As for lowering, I was advised of the "25" fender to ground safe zone".... this gets rid of the god awful wheel gap, but also saves your axles... play around with a height until vibrations are minute or absent.

Good luck!

How comes it is so difficult for the guys running AWD than RWD: square set up, can't lower too aggressively, replace all tires at the same time... kind of painful lol.

Shouldn't RWD with snow tires work fine too?

setup is fine
dont think you need spacers
Im running same setup but 19x10 in the rear ,
24.5/24.6 from fender to ground
coilovers should go on first in my opinion
goodluck and post pics
You should also look at the awd staggered thread

I already have the rims but I'm waiting for next paycheck for the coilovers.

Default So far so good.

So I ended up going with 235/35 fronts and 265/30 dws continental with my enkei. The front driver side rubs but it's not a big rub. I did not install my coilover yet. I ended up with Megan Racing PL

Because the cars are built differently. Sffd103 already mentions the reason.

What's the lowest offsets people have ran? I don't think I've seen anybody that's run single digits / negatives yet haha.
