Default Would these wheels work?

Ok, I'm a bit of a novice in the aftermarket wheel arena. Have a potential sweetheart deal on the following setup:

19x9 +26 FRONT
19x10.5 +22 REAR
5x114


Too aggressive? Would they even fit without mods? I have a standard suspension and don't plan on dropping it any time soon...

^Very true. That sounds like 350Z/G35 fitment.

Thanks, good to know... You can see I'm a wheel novice .

I realize there are endless threads on this, but in summary, can someone offer the prevailing consensus on specs for aftermarket 19 inch rims/tires (2nd gen IS350)?

That is, Front/Rear rim width (with offsets) and tire size.

Wheel fitment will depend on the wheel diameter/size, width and offset you choose. There are sooo many variables that affect wheel fitment. Your best bet is to check out the stickied aftermarket wheel thread (long, I know - but it'll get you familiar with some typical setups for the IS350).

with that setup, tires will rub fenders like there are no tomorrow. For 19" rims, the best conservative offset for IS 350 is in the 40s. Make sure wheels need to clear the front brakes.
