Default Wheel fitment

Hey guys! I just bought new wheels (Front: 19x8.5 +45 Rear: 19x10 +45) and i was wondering if they'll fit without hitting any of the suspension parts? Kind of scared that since the offset is super high they'll just end up not fitting at all. The wheels will be rebuilt with more aggressive specs in the future but i'd really like to run something else than stock Lexus wheels lol. Cheers!

Stock offset is +50 on a 7.5" wide wheel, so yeah I think you'll be good. It's only going to be 10mm closer.

19x10 at +45? You may have issues clearing your struts.

He didn't mention the width of the tires. If 255, it will only be 10mm closer to suspension components. If 275, it'll be 20mm closer. Negligible amounts. At worst a 5mm or 10mm spacer would solve the problem.

Try out your combinations here.

offset should be fine.

Are you lowered at all? What tire sizes.

Yeah i'm on Tanabe Low Form coils. I want to have a kind of aggresive stretch so i think of going 235/35 rear and 215/35 front.
So another question to those who run stretched tires, will that be evenly stretched?

It will not, but close.
