So i have narrowed it down to 2 different wheels options for my 2006 IS250 AWD

Can I run a 18 X 8.75 + 20 Front
18 X 9.75 + 20 Rear (My rear Fenders have been rolled)
Without problems. I hear AWD shouldn't run a Staggered Or would this fit
18 X 9.5 +25 Front and Rear (my rear fenders have been rolled)

Sorry to bring this thread up but I suppose it's what its for!
Here's my question

This is the specs for the wheels im looking at
19x8.5 +35 19x10 +42 wrapped in Hankook V12 255/35/19 275/35/19
I am dropped on Tein SS Coilovers
How low do you think I can drop before needing to roll any fenders? Will I need spacers to make it look flush?
Here are some pictures of how my car sits as of today

You might better off stay with the same size, 18x8.5 +20 will be fine with fenders rolled, 18x9.5+25 will be fine for front and rear as well.

You can tell them to switch them to your new wheel
Other why your tire sensor might come on on the gauge. There is a way to trick the system if u don't want to put the sensor in your new wheel. It's call "pipe bombing".

Hey guys. For this spec, 19x8.5+35 19x10+42 Forgestar f14 wheels, what tires should I run?
I like thinner tires but I am a complete dummy with this stuff. I'm dropped on Tein SS coils and I want to drop to near max. What tire size should I ask for? Much appreciated thanks!
Lemme know if fender rolling is needed. I was told Tein SS coils aren't that low of a drop even at max.
Here's a picture of my car ATM. I can drop about .75 inchs more and that'll be max

You don't need a roll, you can go with 235/35/19, 275/30/19 for a little more tire or 225/35/19, 265/30/19 for a little stretch.

Another recommended me 225/40/19 for a thinner look. I thought the lower the middle number was, the thicker the tires? I am truly confused and another member above said 275 was too meaty 0__0"

225= the width of the tire, 40= the profile of the tire, the lower the number the thinner the tire around the wheel and 19 is wheel size obviously.

I just got new tires and went with a 35 profile which is less than OEM tires, if you want wider tires increase the first number, if you want more tire going around the wheel increase the second number, hope this makes some sense

Need the wheel experts help. Submitting specs for new wheels tomorrow. Wanted to confirm these sizes.

19x9 +28
19x10.5 +32

If my calculations are correct. Should work with minor stretch and shaved rear fenders and front bumper tab relocation.

incorrect.

225/35-19 + 265/30-19 if you want to keep your fenders unmodified. 225/40-19 is oem-size for the IS-F but not for the ISx50's. (btw, those sizes are safe for their respective wheel widths, in case you were wondering).

the middle number is the aspect ratio of sidewall height to the treadwidth. for example, if a 225 tire has a 35-series aspect ratio, that means the sidewall height is 35% of the treadwidth, or 78.75 mm.

i would not recommend going any lower than what your current ride height is unless you plan for fender modifications.

correct.

that's going to require a bit of fender pulling and tire stretching.
