2006 IS250 AWD
Volk GT-30 19x8.5+36 and 19x9.5+37
with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19. my next tires will be 225/35/19 and 265/30/19
i have been running this over a year.
when i turn hard, the car is jumping a little bit, but i don't know if it is becuase of staggered.
no rotate tires over non-stagger T_T

all you have to do is keep the overall rolling diameters within 1/4" of eachother and the Traction control will do the rest. 1010tires has a good calculator that I use to calculate mounted diameter to validate a AWD staggered setup. Lexus doesnt use a true 50/50 AWD system so there is some room for discrepancy.

if you get a custom built 3 piece wheel....you could just run staggered offsets and have the same sized tire on all four wheels. lets say u do a 20x9 all the way around with a 2" front lip and 3-3.5" rear lip and run a 245/30/20. MC3 (a forum sponsor on here) will do this for you. Andy over there did a setup like this for his FWD cars that want to do staggered lips

I havent seen any one having problem with stagger setting (AWD), however cant
say you will never have problem with Differential in the future, problem is different
tire size not the wheel. If its not too agressive, you can use same tire front and back.

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l- i luv how ur IS looks.. luv those wheels...
i only have one question though
why ppl are all running 19x8.5 n 19x9.5??
shouldn't we do 19x8.5 all around or 19x9.5 all around??
since we are AWD, we rotate the wheels different than the RWD cars.
