What tires would I need to get?
F: 19x8.5 +22
R: 19x9.5 +34

I have not dropped my car yet,but I plan on buying coilovers after my TE's come in.

215/35-19 + 245/35-19.

you might be able to get away with 225 and 255, but it would depend on how low your 2is' ride height wil be.

Are either sizes going to stretch the tires?And would both sizes require fender work?

19x8.5 +22 - both 215/35-19 and 225/35-19 will require fender work. neither are considered a real stretch.

19x9.5 +34 - 245/35-19 should not need fender work, but plan on it just in case. 255/35-19 may need fender work. neither are considered a real stretch.

Sorry for the double post,just thought of another question.If I were to drop my car,should I go with 215 and 245 or would 225 and 255 still be fine if my car were to be dropped.

you should plan on going with the narrower sizes.

Hey everyone!
Before I ask for help I must warn you that I have no experience with wheels and fitment. So please, bear with me

I have an '06 250 RWD that is currently lowered on BC coilovers. I've been looking at Varrstoen's 1.1.2 and I was originally told to go with 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22, however I've heard that they don't make the 10.5 sizing anymore. So, my friend suggested doing 19x11 +25 in the rear if they don't have the other sizing. Do you think it's doable? What kind of fender work will I need to do? Also, the tire size? I'm looking for a nice, flush look. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i think it's about the same amount of fender work as the 10.5 +22.

try 255/35-19 or 265/30-19.

Need some help. I'm a noob with wheels and tire fitment.

I have a 2007 IS-350. It has the sport tuned package / suspension set-up. So it is a little lowered, but probably still has a good 2 - 2.5 finger gap space all around.

Want something that will work without any rub issues and want it to clear the factory breaks.

Will these work?
Five Axis S5:F wheels in gunmetal.

Wheels -
Front: 19x8.5 +30
Rear: 19x9.5 +35

Tires - Hankook Ventus V12 Evo
Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 265/30/19

Need some input ASAP since I want to make a quick decision. Please let me know if you need any more info. THANKS.

those offsets work, but you should ask five axis if it'll clear the front calipers

What would the ideal tyre specs be for the varrostoens 1.1.2's:

19x9.5 +22
19x11 +25

I heard Achilles ATR run slighty wider than some tyres and I plan to use these tyres, so anyone with experience with this same setup please share

My car is lowered atm with 0 finger gap at the rear, and 1 finger gap at the front.

In terms of fender work what would need to be done both Front and Back?
