see Mv350's response.

these wheels will not be flush. high offsets.

on the other hand, i believe you can even run next-size-wider tires w/out clearance issues...

 

you would need 30mm spacers in the rear and 25mm spacers in the front to make the tire flush with 215/35 all around, it would look awkward tho

 

I thought this would be the second best place to ask. I was trying on the Vossen 078 from a friend who had a G35

front's are 20x9 (+25 offset)

rear's are 20x10.5 (+30 offset)

When I installed the front wheel with the McGard lug nut on my stock IS250, the wheel was still a little wobbly even with nuts tightened.

Anyone had this issue?

And what tires to recommend, if drop 1-2 inches.

Thanks

 

You shouldn't use OEM lug nut on aftermarket wheels, it's not safe.

 

it was installed w/ McGard lug nut. The OEM nuts did not fit into Vossen wheel at all

 

If I remember right McGard also makes OEM lug nut.

 

19 x 8.5 offset 32 (235/35/19) Front
19 x 10 offset 38 (265/30/19) Rear

with H&R Springs

 

What is a thinner tire that would keep me from having to mod anything?

 

I was going to buy 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 for my car but someone on my.is told me I should run 265/35/19 in the rear. What do you guys think about that? Lowered on F-sport springs/shocks.

 

on a 8.5/10 combo id run 225/35 255/35 or 265/30

 

what it the realistic measurement difference between a 225 and a 235 upfront? I cant see it being so drastic that a minor heat gunning of the liner wont fix the difference unless its huge

 

I'm not sure but everyone tells me ill rub with a 235 and not with a 225 on a 19x8.5 with +35.

 

treadwidth / aspect ratio - wheel diameter

as such, when i say "thinner" tire, i don't mean a tire w/ thinner sidewall, but a tire w/ narrower treadwidth.

i'd recommend running 225/35-19 up front and 255/35-19 in the rear.

if you don't have your fenders modified to accomodate higher-treadwidth tires, it will matter.

 

I'm thinking about getting some 19x8.5E30 and 19x9.5E25 and some springs for a 2" drop. Does anyone know what tire sizes I can run with these without any mods to the fenders? I'm currently leasing my car, and I don't think I can mod the body.

 

if you don't think you can mod the fenders, i don't think there are tire sizes that you can run to make those wheels fit.
