If you are running stock 255/40 and switch to 265/35 then no it won't held fill the gap as the diameter will be smaller cos of lower profile tyres.

Found a good deal on some 17x9 +35 RPF1s in my area. It is a square setup with 235/40/17 tires. I'm not completely set on it yet, but was curious if I could run it without any rub issues on my 2007 IS350.

I'm just really terrible with wheels and I don't want to buy it and find out that this won't work out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Default tsw wheels

Hi guys, I need you guy's opinion on TSW wheels. I saw some lexus with these brand wheels, but never seen the IS with the TSW sebring 19's. I like the look of it and was wondering if a 19x8.5 F and 19x9.5 R with offset 40 all around work on the 2IS. Thanks.

Thatll fit perfectly. Flush all around. Just keep in mind tires can play a roll in fitment

Can anyone tell me if this spec will work?

IS350 RWD
Front Spec: 19x9.5 +38mm
Rear Spec: 19x10.5 +32

I want to run 275/35/19 in the back. Not sure what I should be running up front for tire size.

Will the wheels poke out at these specs? I'm looking for flush/beefy tire with minimal stretching and no poking. Not lowered yet but will only want to lower maybe 1 to 1.2" all around. Please recommend. Thanks!

@ischillen. You will hit the fenders in the rear even with 1" drop. You'll need to roll the fenders and i recon the rear would be look good (pretty flush). for 275/35 rears i'd go with 245/40 fronts but again you'll rub more in the front with drop. Alternatively go 245/35 and 275/30.

Youre going to have poke and on top if that youll need to modify the fenders and even more so when you add tires that'll actually fit properly without stretch, even a 245 is going to be mildly stretched on a 9.5 rim. The offset will make it poke more so as well. What I recommend is doing a smaller rim in the front and even possibly the rear. Then remain with your original 275 in the rear. To have the front without both stretch and flush youll need closer to an 8.5 with a 35 give or take offset or a 9 with an offset closer to original

Thanks for the input guys....

So the rims I want are actually 19" Work Emotion Kiwami and those are the minimum offsets for the deep (front) and ultra deep (rear) faces. Unfortunately I cannot size down without losing the concave look that I liked about the rims....

I do not mind rolling the fenders. Do you guys think I still be able to fit a 275/35/19 in the rear and 245/40/19 in front with a fender roll?

If they still don't fit well after that point, I think I would size down the tires instead by either going with a lower profile to keep the width, but I would like having to avoid re-mounting tires and go with something safe to begin with that will fit without having to re-do it.

Should I go with a 275/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 just to be safe? Will that fit for sure with only a fender roll?

I don't know if 275 rear will fit with rolling because I am running 265 rear on stock suspension and I was rubbing on big dips in the back so I had to roll my rear fenders.

Ischillen , theres also an agressive fitment thread that may be worth reading thru to get an idea of what others have done and what fits. There are some crazy examples in there. Ravspec has good deals on work, as well as evasive motorsports. Where in VA you from?

It depends on the offset. I have ET30 and running 265/30. With rolling fender it won't hit.

With the below if it was me i would go 245/35 and 275/30 (or 285/30 would even match the front better)IS350 RWD
Front Spec: 19x9.5 +38mm
Rear Spec: 19x10.5 +32

Alright sounds like I might have to go with 265's then if that's the sure fit with rolling fenders.. it's listed as the minimum allowable tire width for a 10.5"

Hmm interesting.. I was thinking it might work too based off of this image of another members car.. He's running +25/+22 offsets with 225 tires i think

He looks like he's on coilovers. They have settings that can make the springs stiffer. I dont have coils.
