What tire size should I run ? 9.5 +22 for the rears, no camber. Thinking 255/35/19? I have shaved fenders for the rear, will that be cutting it close? Or should I just stick to 245/35/19?

I also have 8.5+22 up front planning to do 225/35/19.

Also will be lowered - Probably 1 from wheel to fender.

Any help would be great!

You'll be rubbing all around and bad.

I would stick to 245/30/19 on the rear. The front 225/35/19 should be fine. Not certain.

Just thought I'd check in as my pics before lowering from last summer makes this seem like a tight fit.

I have an 09 is250 awd, running a 225/40/18 18x8.5 +35 square setup. I have a set of bc coilovers which I will install in about a week, lowering about 2.5".

Will I need to roll my fenders up front? I'm confident that the rear will be fine as it is still quite tucked as it is. I am worried about that inside lip of the front fenders (top of the wheel well) digging into my tires.

I am on my winter wheels (still) until I do this next week.

Thanks!

Default help

searched through multiple different pages found no luck. I might of missed this but oh well. I am looking at purchasing 19x8.5 wheels, what offset range should I look to stay in, typically not great with expertise on wheel fitment? Also what tire size would you recommend as I am lowered about 1.75" or so, I would not like to roll my fenders if possible at all.

You'll be fine running 9.5 +22 in the rear with no camber. I'm running 10.5 +22 in the rear shaved and dropped on coils about 23.5 cm measuring from ground to the fender. I'm running 235/35 in the rear. I'm running 9.5 in the front with 225/35. And that's rolled, slight pull, and bumper tab relocated.

When you guys same bumper tab relocated, are you guys talking about the headlight brackets?

So I rubbed a giant hole in the fender line now I am rubbing the steel part of the headlight brackets.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and would like some advice.

I have an 07 IS250AWD running 18X8 on 225/40/18 all round currently. I want to get a set of TE37 18X9 +25. I would run those on 225/40.18 F and 255/40/18 R. My question is will they fit on stock height without rubbing? And whether I'd absolutely have to roll/pull the fenders?

Being that you're AWD (like me) its actually not the best idea to run a staggered setup (bigger in the back) as it isn't good for your drivetrain. Its always safe to have a square setup, same tire size and rim size all around.
Some people have done the staggered setups on their AWD's by calculating sizes so its the same rolling diameter front and back, but in the long run, a lot of the feedback has come down to regretting doing it in the first place. It can be done, but you run the risk of putting extra/premature wear on your vehicle.
You can run an aggressive setup by all means, but just keep a square setup if possible. (e.x. 225/40/18 Front and Rear, same rims all around)
Just my $0.02
