Default Wheel Spec for 2009 IS250 AWD Help

I’m looking to get some wheels for my Is250 AWD, but i have no idea of what specs I should use.

My main problem is that the car is AWD. I want to run a staggered set up if possible to have the wheels flush with my fenders, but I also want to avoid rolling my fenders, rubbing on fenders, and triggering any dash lights.

Any ideas?

18” Wheels if possible.

Not familiar with AWD set-ups. I'd look around and see what setups other AWD 2IS owners are running. Good luck.

Yes, you can run a square 19x9 set-up. You can go as low as mid-20 offsets in the front and rear, 215/35-19 + 245/35/19 to get the most clearance.

I remember someone saying running 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around with 225/35 and 245/35 looked awful with a 1 inch drop. Does anyone have photos of this? I'm curious on how it looks. I tried searching but didn't find anything.

you're not going to find a photo of those specs at that ride height because most 2is's that run said specs are/were on coilovers.

Default What tires should I buy to stretch on 10"wide

Low Life , 04-18-18 02:32 PM
My tires are due to being replaced, can can you guys recommend a stretchy Tire that will hold air pressure better? I have 235-35-19 on 10" wide wheel. If I add 40 psi of air pressure they dip down to about 25 psi after a few days. I was told it was because they were cheaper tires that don't stretch as well.

(I'm sure this question has been asked before I apologize, I even had the thread saved on my old computer that broke.)

You're asking a lot from any tire. Period. That size of tire is not meant for that size of rim. However the tire is of slim importance when it comes to sealing properly, if there was damage on the sealing edge of the tire then yes. Along with if there was any slow leak anywhere else in the tires. Likely they just weren't sealed perfectly around the rim because of how much it was stretched. Ask the installer to use bead sealer when they install and you should be fine air pressure wise.

Maybe you can be more specific and let us know what kind of wheels you're looking at first.

Also, "flush with my fenders" can mean a lot of things without more details. Do you want rolled/shaved/pulled fenders, or leave them virgin? will you be at stock ride height, springs-lowered, coilovers-lowered, or air suspension-lowered?

The more details you provide, the better answers you'll get.

I'm on bc coilovers. I want no fender work. i want to leave my fenders virgin. I don't want to slam the car. I just want a nice tire drop with a flush look with the widest wheels I can do on my car.

a popular set-up would be 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with offsets in the high 30's/low 40's with 235-35-18 and 265-35-18 tires. this is also relatively conservative since you don't want fender work done.
