Lowered on Tien S-techs, about 1 finger gap for front and rear. Planning to get 18x9.5 +12 and 18x10.5 +12 rears. Tire size 225/40 and 225/45. Will I just need a roll or do I have to pull also?

you will need a pull if you dont want to rub. And I wouldn't do those tires. Instead, I'd do 225/35 front, and 245/35 rear. You can go 235/35 in the rear if you want, but personally, that's too much of a stretch for me to feel comfortable

Thanks I'll look into your recommended setup.

I want to get these but not sure if it'll fit my is350. specs are 20x9.5 +13 and 20x10.5 +29. Mainly worried about the front x9.5 +13 spec. Currently has 235/30/20 and 255/30/20.

Run Megan front upper control arms and rear camber arms, you should be fine. My fronts and rears are more aggressive than that, although mine are 19" not 20".

Should work go with 225-30 up front. I ran a 9.5+16 on 225-35-19 with roll/pull, fender tab relocated and natural camber at 24.5 inch height.

I don't think I qualify as "aggressive" but like my fitment. Running 18x8s front and 18x9s rear. Offsets are +35 and +40 respectively. Wish the fronts were as flush as the rears, but it's pretty close.

Not sure if my setup would be considered aggressive but I know it's perfectly flush

Miro 398

18x8.5 et25 (used a 5mm to bring offest down a bit)
18x9.5 et20

225/40/18 and 245/40/18

Cut front bumper tabs, rolled rear fenders
Rubs pretty bad at full lock while doing a U turn or going up driveways.

Function form coilovers maxed out to lowest setting.
SPC front camber kit. -1.0 camber on the front and -2.5 camber on the rear
