Will those wheels fit? START HERE.
Is it safe to say that the rear wheels would look funny with a higher offset than the fronts?
For example, my vendor recommended i run 18x9.5 +22F and 18x10.5 +30R to eliminate tire stretch of going with a +22 all around. I'll need atleast a 3-5MM spacer in the front to clear the factory IS350 brakes which would make the offset around +17F.
Looking at Varrstoen ES7 style...

Did you remove your fender liners? Thats the only place I rub and just gonna cut them this weekend and spray some rhino bed liner in there to help protect from elements... If I still rub will consider some negative camber later on but as of now will just do some camber on my rear wheels
You are pretty much running stock size cept for the offset which will look flush on your car, and no worries on rubbing you will be good even if you drop it

new specs:
F:19x9.5+15 R: 19x10.5+18
will these fit w no probs?
my old specs were F:19x8.5+20 and R:19x8.5+15, so i had done the recommended fender roll, and hammered the fender tab upwards as it was eating my tire, then it would only rub on dips and not really scrape any rubber off my wheel. I have BC coils set to the stiffest setting. Ill be using the same tire size 225/35 and 255/30. My drop is 1.25 finger gap. No camber arms, and id rather not want to get them
Im concerned about the front (as i fit the rear and there seems to be enough clearance so it doesnt touch the rim. see photo below)
Would my new front rim size be a problem? No 215 tires available here
Here is how the new rears look to give u an idea of the wheel gap

What's up. I'm looking for a good setup for daily driving. I am going to be on BC coils until I go air. What is a good wheel setup that would be good where I can still carry passengers? I'm planing to be rolling on 19" and be lowered just up to the top of the tire
Was thinking either 19x9/9.5 in front and 19x10/10.5 in rear. Anyone have suggestions

Looking to run a square setup on my 08 is350 for track days. 18X8 (+45) wheels all around with 245/40/18's. Lowered about 2" (Finger gap). Really don't want to modify any fenders. Any issues with the front tires?
I really don't care if I rub the liners, my car has been slammed for a very long time with stock 18's and after a month of being slammed i don't hear any rubbing at all unless I hit dips going fast and thats only hitting the liners.
Now, if your talking about rubbing against metal thats another story.
So I'm looking at 19's now with the following specs;
19x8.5 +17 and 19x9.5 +20
My car at the moment has no finger gap in the rear and maybe 1-2 finger in the front, I plan on running low but not slammed. What tire sizes are recommended? Again, I don't mind tiny stretch.
EDIT: Lets just say I'll be slammed to make it easier, So would 225/35 and 235/35 be ideal or would that be too much tire?
