I've narrowed my choice of wheels down to two. My first choice is the Work Gnosis GS1, and my second choice is the Linea Corse DYNA's; I'm undecided mainly because of the price difference.

My question is about fitment. Like I've mentioned in some of my previous posts, I'm pretty clueless & could use all the help I can get, and the kind folks here have been great. Now the one thing I know is that I want them at 19"; So I know the height I want, but I don't know much about width & offset.

First of all, will these wheels fit on the IS250 AWD? From previous posts I've gathered that the Linea Corse's will fit fine, but I'm not sure about the Work's.

I plan on dropping it about 2" to eliminate the wheel gap, and I'd like for my wheels to be about flush with the fender. What type of width & offset would I be looking at for that? And for future reference, how would I determine that on my own? (in laymans terms please... lol)

Thanks.

 

19x8.5 +30
19x9.5 +30

or

19x9 +35
19x10 +35

 

HAHAHAHA WTF!!?! bro... thats the two biggest difference in rims i have ever heard of. Thats like if you asked your friends, "Should I buy a Chevy Cobalt of a Lexus IS350".... hahahahaha.... buy works and call it a day. Do it once, do it right.

 

hahahhaa yeah i agree with wierdazndu... do it once do it right... there's GS1 on sale on classifieds.. wanna take a look at that... as far as i know.... Linea Corse Dyna has only 1 fitment 19x8.5 +38 or +28 and 19x10 +43... unless you custom it... which is impractical as it jacks up the price up closer to the GS1... and as Wierdazndu said.. get works and call it a day....

 

Dont buy Linea Corse

 

gnosis ftw. but don't get gs3's

 

Thanks. It won't rub or anything, will it? I don't want to have to roll or cut the fender, that's too advanced for me.

 

Yeah, as far as I know the Linea Corse Dyna's do only have that 1 fitment. I just wasn't sure how it would actually fit on my car, but if I would have to customize it & jack up the price to make it fit than I may as well go with my first choice which is the GS1 anyway.

 

yeah that's whaat i said go with works... the fitment is flushed... no rubbing.... =)

 

I would go w/ 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +35. They are little conservative, but still flushed, plus you can get little beefier tires (more sidewalls) than what chris250 recommends. My 2c

 

Would a staggered setup on the AWD create problems?

 

I'd prefer a more aggressive look. So would 19x9 +35 & 19x10 +35 fit without rubbing or problems? If not, would 19x8.5 +30 & 19x9.5 +30 be ok?

And again, would it be better to get the same specs all around rather than staggered seeing as I'm on AWD?

 

you shoulnt have any issues im on 19x9+35 235-35-19 front and 19x9.5+40 265-30-19 but im on coilovers and as for stagger or same spec all around its up to you how you like to do it i went stagger on my AWD as i like the look

 

I love Gnosis.
