Default would 19x8.5 +29 work?

I have a Q on wheel offsets. Would 19x8.5 +29 all around work on a staggered IS250 (non-AWD) without any fender mods? I'm currently lowered on Eibach Prokit. Would the wheels appear flush?

Thanks in advance.

They should fit... I'm running a 19x8.5 +35 with 235s no problem and look like i have some room.

The fronts will be sorta flush. The rear will be sunk it.

here is a shot of my car on f-sport springs for reference.


19x9.5 +38 in the rear

225 front, 35 offset i think will be good. 30 is kinda low.

You will rub the fender Liner on turns, but a heat gun should take care of that.

I'm running 19x8.5 +30 up front... 235/35/19 PS2s and I'm rubbing (on turns)

New rims planned already?

I think it should be fine but you'll probably want to run narrower tires to avoid rubbing.

My wife is running a 19x8.5 +30 235 tire (no fender mods) and no rubbing at all. She's running eibach's as well.

I'm running 19x8.2 +22 with a 225 tire (heat gunned like crazy my fender well) and now, no rubbing. But I'm slammed on coils.

You'll be fine

So, running 225/35 series tires on 19x8.5 +29 should be rub free? If I run similar wheel and tire specs in the rear, would it be tucked or "sunk" as VenZon mentioned?

19x8.5 +29, 235/35/19 in the front. You'll need to heat gun the fender lining in a few places, and shave down the tab that connects the fender and the bumper. My next set of front tires will be 225/35/19, I still rub on big dips on the freeway.

Your wheel and tire specs are a tad more aggressive than the ones I'm planning to use. But, then again you're riding on stock suspension. Seems like heat gun may be necessary.

It all depends if I can get these offsets and tires to "work" (no pun intended). In the meantime, I'll have to tease you.

Would rubbing be less if you switch to the narroweer 225/35/19 tires? BTW, love your 5axis lip and MEs.
