So I finally pulled the trigger on some wheels. Currently I am on a stock suspension, but I will lower it on some coils down the road.

19x8.5x35
19x9.5x40

I do not want to modify my fender. What size tire would be best?

Great thread, Hate to sound like a broken record but can anyone help me?

I have a 07 IS350, Lowered on H&R Springs.

Running 225/40/18 Front and 255/40/18 Rears

I was looking to pick up these wheels- http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5948

Front- 18x9 20 offset
Rear- 18x10 20 offset

Will any rolling be required? Will the car be low enough to fit them correctly?

Thanks for any help in advance

hate to sound like a broken record, but you should try using the search function.

roll your fenders completely flat and get a pull out of them to run your proposed tire sizes (don't forget to shave the fender tabs). you might want to look into one size narrower tires to create more clearance.

With the right amount of work they will. I am running the exact same specs. Heated and re-mold fender liner, rolled and pulled fenders all around, relocate front bumper tab and cut plastic/metal behind fender liner near tab, cut some of rear bumper tab, megan camber arms in the rear at -4.0 degrees of camber, amd static camber up front. I think that about somes up the work to make them fit and not rub on every single bump.

It looks great when done and is deff. worth it. Just realize that if it your daily driver (which mine is) you just have to be willing to put in the work to make it driveable to the point where you are not pulling your hair out with the rubbing etc.

there will be no extra protection i think. the tire will not be wider, 40 series means it is higher.
