so, i finally pulled a front wheel off today that just wouldn't hold air any longer and didn't' see anything in the tire…figured it was a mild bend i could detect on the outside. turns out that the lip on the inner side has a good ~1" long crack on it.
'07 IS 350 sport package (~0.4" front drop?) currently running:
19x8 +40 235/35 w/10mm spacers
19x9.5 +40 275/30
i love my fitment in the back but would like to bring the front out another 5mm ideally (switch to a 15mm spacer essentially). however, I'm just being picky there and wouldn't ever bother changing the spacers. however, my other front rim is curbed, so i was considering on using this opportunity to get the different offsets on the front to get rid of the spacers completely (incorrectly thinking +25 was the other option). however, it's +20 or +40…and no 8.5" or 9" width available.
is a 19x8 +20 too much for the front? i want the tire to line up with the fender without protruding past it AT ALL (better to be slightly in than out). for a reference, i would not like the rear if it came out even another 5 mm, and i know others consider a flush setup in the rear much more aggressive than my current 9.5" wide +40 mm. of course, i'm not lowered in the back and have little camber to help. it's obviously a little different story in the front with a bit more camber, so i generaly look to the center of the rim to examine flushness there.
when i put the stockers back on later this week i will do a quick experiment with the remaining 19x8 +40 rim and double up my 10 mm spacers. however, i won't really be able to accurately access any rubbing of any sort with that…not with any conclusiveness at least.
i'd really appreciate any insight the wheel experts have for me!
Lowered - little or no gap between tire and fender. Rears are already rolled. I want to make sure these will fit and what additional fender mods (if any) may be required.
That is a pretty conservative offset so you'll be fine without running into any rubbing issues.
You can run the stock tire sizes which are 225/40/18 and 255/40/18
I'm going to be running 19x9 +13 not sure on tire size up front with my bag over coil setup. will I need camber kits for the fronts? i'm also doing 19x10 +18 on the rear but i heard ill only need it for the fronts. just trying to get more opinions.

I would suggest front ball joints to adjust in some neg camber. As for the rear you will need camber arms and a mild pull depending on tire size.

Thanks!
This particular setup I would do a 225/35 and 245/35 setup u can even get away with a 255/35 or a 265/30 on the rear. You will need to relocate front bumper tab and run about -2.5 to -3 deg of camber in the rear. Hope this helps

but if i decide to get cilovers what size tires do i need to go

You'll still be fine even if you decide to lower it on coilovers. You may run into inner tire clearance on the 255 if you decide to slam it but you'll be fine with just a conservative drop.
Here is what I plan on running. 19x8.5 +15 with 225 and 19x10 +15 with a 255. Im gonna roll fenders as well. Is this set up ok? Or should I go with a more narrow tire? Btw im on megan ez coils. Please guys give me your input. Thanks

Haven't had any experience with 19" wheels but based off my 18x9.5 et12 rear wheels you'll have to run a narrower rear tire. This is a 245/40/18 and it sits perfectly and I have rolled and slightly pulled fenders.
