Default Wheel Size and Offset question

Would my tires be tucked in or flush with this setup? I don't want to install spacers.

19 x 8.5 +43 with 245/35/19 tires (front)
19 x 9.5 +45 with 275/30/19 tires (rear)

Thanks.

yes they will be tucked. i am not sure in the front, but in the rear you can go as low as 35. you might rub depending on lowering and size of tires.

Default Rim + Offset Question

Hi guys, im new to the forum
i just picked up a 08 IS250 AWD (ill have pics up shortly)

and i have a set of rims from my other vehicle with these specs

20" x 8.5"
5x114.3/5x120.7
Backside Spacing (in): 5.93
Offset: 30mm

as for offset will the 30mm offset be fine? will i need spacers?

Some have done staggered with AWD, but most people wil recommend keeping the same tire width in the front/rear.

I have 30mm offsets on 8.5" wide rims (awd). Its a great fitment upfront, but I added a 10mm spacer in the rear.

id say it fits great in the front, in the rear you might need a spacer 10mm probably.

it doesn't matter what kind of tire width.... but the important thing is that your running diameter is the same all around

Default wheel/tire fitment question

I have decided to go with 20" Stern st-6 (Yoshi) in hyper black for my 06 GFM. I found the wheels on this page

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-setup-66.html

(halfway down, Chaser07's black IS)

The offset for the front wheels is not listed in the above post, so I am not sure what to go with. These are the options

20x8.50 5X114.3 20 offset
20x8.50 5X114.3 30 offset
20x8.50 5X114.3 45 offset

What would be the best for the front?

Also, would a 265 tire for a 20x10 (36 offset) wheel in the back be too small? I do not plan on lowering my car, but I am looking for a flush look without too wide of a tire.

Thanks
