Buying Rims NEED HELP with sizes w/ +15 Offset ?
Enkei RPF1
Tire Setup: Hoosier A6 Race slicks 225/40/18 F & 275/35/18 R
Desired rim sizes (please confirm)
Front18X8 35 5X114.3 Part # 3798806535SP
Rear: 18X9.5 38 5X114.3 Part # 3798956538SP
Can Some one confirm that is setup will work for me. Will I have any issues with this offset and tires size ?
I checked others Posts here but mostly people are running +19

IThe wheel sizes and offsets will work, but not necesarily with those wheels if you have an IS350. The dish shape / spoke arc might interfere with the front brake calipers. I tried 3 different wheels with "correct" specs before finding a set that didn't rub the front calipers.
BTW, why would you want so much stagger?! The car has tremendous understeer as it is with half the stagger. It would make more sense to me if you were to run 18x9 wheels all the way around with 235/40-18s. on the front and 245/40-18s on the rear.
