don't bother running spacers with those tire specs. those LC Dynas and tires are spec'd that way from wheeldude so you have a nice stance without the need to do fender modifications. running spacers will only create clearance issues that will require fender modifications.

you should've gotten 225/35-19 + 255/35-19 instead.

Thank you. The fenders havent been rolled yet. I have an appt this weekend to get it done.

Thanks DNA

F: 19x8.0 +43
R: 19x9.5 +35

I'm planning to put some spacers on the front to give it some more flushness. What's the most aggressive I can go without any fender mods? (I'll be lowering approx 2 to 3 inches using BCR coils).

Secondly, what tire sizes do you guys suggest I run?

Thanks!!!

I have a 2007 IS250 with Tein H-Tech springs which is a very mild drop about 1" front and .6" rear. I'm looking at getting a set of Privat Akzent wheels with Falken 452 tires. The wheel and tire spec's are:

Wheels
19x8.5 30mm offset for the fronts
19x9.5 25mm offset for the rears

Tires
235-35R19 Front
275-30R19 Rear

Will they fit? Thanks in advance

225/35-19 up front, 245/35-19 in the rear - if you can squeeze it in.

With these tire sizes, do you think that would be a big gap with my mild drop?

Half of it was answered, but now I want to know how wide of spacers I can buy for both the front and rear without having to do any fender mods. Your expertise is much appreciated

yes, but assuming your rear fenders are not modified, you're better off that way.

otherwise, you will end up with tire-fender clearance issues.

depending on your ride height, you will have to shave the fender tabs at all four corners.

and depending on how much of a light pull you'll get from rolling your fenders (it's going to happen regardless), you might be able to get away with 235/35-19 in the front and 265/30-19 in the rear.
