The rims is what needs to clear the BBK, has nothing to do with the offset. I am not 100% sure on the offsets for this car. From what I have read through that should not be an issue but let one of the experts here who knows.

I know there is a car that has 8.5 front +38 and 10.5 rear +45. you can use that for some guidance. are you going to shave/roll the fenders in the rear?

you need high disk in the front for bbk

the offsets should be ok, i'd use 245 and 275 tires. the rear is close but i think is fine.

you know i've always wondered about that, if they inspect someone's fenders for rolling when you return a lease. can anybody shed some light on that?

no info on front, can't tell. you have to find out if it's high disk. rear, imho with 275 it's ok, but it's your call

I rolled on my last Lexus that was leased also and never had any issues. But you could pay the price if something goes wrong. Its a chance we all take

rominl- thanks for the reply, so if I was to push a 20x11 in the rear and shave or roll the fender how much can I push the offset? Looks like from reading the many pages in the mod thread that you can go 20x9 +37 in the front and 20x11 +37 if you are rolled? (I guess I should say to be flush and not poke past the fender and have extremely stretched tires)Am I reading that correctly? I am lowered ~ 2" and no camber correction so that should give me a little extra room with the negative camber.

20x9 +37 front is ok. i am actually running 20x9 +34 with 245/30 (not 35). if you talk about flush, i can actually pull out another 3-4mm easy, but i think it will start to rub quite a bit. so 9+37 is non-issue unless you run overspec tires

the rear 11+37 is very aggressive. i have my whole fender shaved to nothing and i am running 10+37 with 265/30, and i think i can go another 5mm out before it starts to rub more. 11+37 is 12mm more outboard than mine. my car is on lowest setting already with quite a bit of camber. even at my stance, another 12mm, seems quite "out"

no matter what don't do 275/40/19, that's way way overspec, 2" over, bad idea

245/40 and 275/35, that's overspec setup. a bit more sidewall for protection, but you will rub more

245/35 and 275/30 that's spec, less tire of course.

it doesn't make sense when you say about the 20s. if you are considering 245/35 and 275/30, that's the same thing as putting 245/35 and 275/30 on the 20s.
