Will those wheels fit? START HERE.
this should fit without any problems. as long as the wheels are a high disk wheel that will clear the front caliper. shouldn't need any fender mods as it is.
19x8.5 +38 with 225/35
19x9.5 +42 with 265/30
Lowered on Tein S-Techs. Can anyone recommend what size spacer to run to make the wheels flush without having to do any rolling / fender mods?

Anyone know if 19x9.5 +42 will be OK on the front of an IS350 without having to do fender mods? Right now the car is at stock height but will eventually be lowered 1-1.5".
The wheels I am looking at are 19x9.5 +42 square setup; what would be a good spacer size to run for the rears?

Hi guys, looking to get back into some flush wheels. Im debating between 19x8.5 +25 19x10 +25 with 215/35/19 and 245/35/19 or 19x8.5 +35 19x9.5 +35 same tires as first spec except id run a 235 width tire in the rear. I dont mind slight rubbing on the lining too much but im more worried about destroying my fromt fender tabs breaking, ultimately resulting in my bumper tabs all breaking and eventually caving in which was what happened on my 20x8.5/10 +30 set up. I have flared fenders all around with my tabs relocated in the rear. Im pretty low on megan lp streets with no tire gap on stock 18's. if im gonna run into brackets breaking going with the +25 set up id rather just go conservative. Any thoughts?

Hi guys I am going to buy a set of wheels 18x8 et 35 front and 18x9 et 37 rear I've used the search and found that I won't need any fender work I'm running stock height for the time being just wanted to know if they will poke or be flush at that offset? I don't mind flush or slightly under. The fender just don't want them to poke I was also going to wrap them in 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 to try and keep to stock as possible any suggestion would be greatly appreciated thanks from the uk oh it's a is220

Hi CL I need opinion on tire
Right now I'm using 19x8.5 +35 225/35 and 19x9.5 +40 265/30, lowered to no 1/2 finger gap at front and no finger gap at back. Been driving like this for 2 months and one of my front tire bubbled and one of my rear wheel hops. So I'm getting a new wheel to replace the back and planning to get thicker tires, want to try the meaty tires setup. My question is can you guys recommend what size tire should I get without having to modify my fenders? Thank you in advance

tires will develop a bubble when there's a breach in the sidewall construction which allows the pressurized air to attempt to escape at that point, causing the bubbling. usually it's because of unusual forces applied to that area that causes the breach in the sidewall construction. however, certain tire brands/models are more likely to bubble than others, simply due to cost-cutting production methods (or even materials used).
if low profile tires has caused that many issues for you, i recommend considering going back to 18's.

you can probably go one size wider, but that's about pushing it for those wheel specs and stock fenders.

thinking about 2 options:
1. 235/35 f and 265/30 r , OR
2. 225/40 f and 255/35 r ( stock isf size if not mistaken)
do you think the above option will make any difference?
otherwise i'll sell my 19 and get some 18
thanks
