Default Tire Rim Question for IS300

anybody know how big of a rim/tire will fit on the 02 IS300 and how wide for for it to to flush with the fenders..
Found sombody selling their rims.. Dimensions: (2) 19 x 9.5 jj , (2) 18 x 8 jj of the rims.. 19s in back 18s in front. will these fit without having to adjust chamber kit and would it be tucked or sticking out??

With rims that big, what size tires are you plan on running? Also, very importantly offset determines how much the rim sticks out or how much they are tucked in.

What are the offsets? That's the determining factor.

far as tires i find the best would be for the 19s = 265/30R19 and for the 18s=215/40R18.. this should be good enough at stock height to not have to worry about fender rolling.. but i have no idea about the offset.. thats a good question and the guy has no idea..

offset is on the back of the wheels. probably inside a spoke or on a sticker. nobody will really be of any help if you dont know the offset thats the main piece of the puzzle
