First time Lexus & IS owner. Picked up a 2011 IS 350 F-Sport three weeks ago. Lowered 1" with F-Sport springs and shocks. I want to switch out the 18" gunmetal double 5 spoke wheels with 19" wheels. I plan to keep the factory wheels. I want to go with the Five Axis 19" R5-F wheels in either silver or Stealth chrome. Thoughts on color? I want the 30mm offset front and 35mm rear, but not sure if it's too much outside offset and how would 45mm front and 50mm rear look with wider 19" tires? Concerned with trying to keep the car clean with the flush or tire outside the fender (30mm & 35mm offset)? Last questions, tire brand recommendation(?), all season or summer performance tires(?), and size(?). I'm thinking 235x35x19" front and 255x35x19" rear or 265x30x19" rear. I would appreciate as much feedback on any of my questions as possible. I've spent the last three weeks reviewing all the wheel and tire information on all the Lexus forums. I'm close to deciding but would appreciate any one's thoughts. Thanks!

Bump. Really need help with which offset to choose.

Here are two threads that might offer a bit of insight. These fellaz are running Five Axis wheels, not the RF-5's but the S5-F's. Both have the offsets in the +30 range and it looks really good.

Thanks Seize. That info was a big help. Looks like 30mm front and 35mm rear for me.
