cut that in half because it is split on both sides of the wheel, meaning a 9.5+15 would be 10+21, now you were asking which is more agressive.
9.5+15(10+21)
or
10+18
so a 10 +18 is MORE aggressive than a 9.5 +15.

Thanks!

can anyone tell me what the best offset is without rubbing?
I'm lowered on H&R springs.
It doesnt have to be completely flush but out just enough that it won't rub.
I'm looking to get rims real soon, so I'd really appreciate help on this!
Thanks!!

thats exactly the reason i asked.. if there were only a few pages id go thru them all.. where am i supposed to look within 105 pages of posts to find my 1 answer?
and its funny.. you people have the time to post a reply to tell a person to search instead of telling them instead and saving them the trouble of going thru 100+ pages of posts. Honestly, if I wanted to go thru 105 pages on this topic, i wouldn't be asking in the first place dont you think?

Seriously, if you're not going to help, why bother even saying wtf.. just dont post at all?

20x9 Vossen VVS-078 +25 or +38
20x10.5 Vossen VVS-078 +30 or +45

go with 38 and 45, then 235/30/20 and 265/30/20 in the rear. Then you dont have to shave and grind and hammer and destroy your lexus.

I thought this forum was a place to go to for help, I was hoping CL would have less ****** like you than My.IS
If you don't want to help then why are you even saying anything.
Unlike you, I'm a university student so I don't have time to go thru 105 pages of posts.
BTW, who the hell says broski.. and its idiotic how you say "good luck with your question" then decide to provide an idiotic answer to my otherwise perfectly legit question.

I'm not even going to bother with you anymore, you're not even worth my time.

If anyone can give me an answer without the BS, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Jokes aside, you must be out of your mind to think that I would wade through so many pages of postings to find that answer. Answers to such basic questions should be in the first post. Get it? If you can't make that happen, stop posting in this section.

and rather than spending the time writing a post that is equivalent of pulling my pants down, everyone including me would have been better served if you just wrote

19" +30 offset 245x40x19 rear (or something like that)

i take great offense to this. just because you are an university student doesnt mean shat. look at when all my post are. i work graveyards at a hospital and go to school during the day and still find time to help everyone in this thread out, sorry if i didnt wanna beat a dead horse for no rubbing or modding.

go 19x9.5+30 235/35 no rubbing with no mods youll be fine





No mods needed up to these offsets
front
18 & 19x8.5+25 225/40(35 for 19's) can go more aggressive with a smaller tire

rear
18x9.5+27 235/40
19x9.5+30 235/35

Fantastic. Thanks Mv350.

You mentioned 235/40 for 18" wheels in the rear.
I currently have 255/40 x 18 in the rear from the factory. So what are the factory offsets?

Also what are the fattest(widest) 19" wheel+tires I could put in the rear without shaving or rolling?

you can do a 10.5" but itll have to be about +43 to not have to roll or shave. and having that 255 is with a wheel that is 8.5" wide with about a +45 or +50 (i cant remember stock offset on the oem wheels)
