U might want to go with a lower offset than those, probably in the low 30's. Get 225/35/19 fronts and 265/30/19 rears. I have 235/35/19 fronts and it rubs during full u turns or dips at high speeds. Rears are fine

I've been offered a set of 19x8.5 +22 and 9.5 +22 Te37s. What kind of fender mods I'd need to get them fit without rubbing?

^If you haven't done so already, you'll also have to heat gun several areas of the fender lining too, depending on how much you're dropped.

Just buzzed through this whole thread - not a single 2IS with Volk GT-V's? Why?

Tomasu, those are pretty agressive, you will have to strech the tires and mod the fenders like Javy and rule1223 said. If this is for your DD then make sure you dont mind dealing with it.

You will have to do adjust the fender tab as well if you are on coils.

Yeah, it's my daily driver and I wouldn't want to do any bigger mods.

Isn't there a risk of paint chipping with rolling? Any other things to keep in mind?

Some say it's safer to cut the rear fenders. I've roll fenders on 4 cars (not a IS tho) with no problems.

Luckily my friend has this.
