yeah, i guess I could do that but its a big o'l 245 tire on the rear 9.5's... that may not give the most accurate "will I rub or not rub" reading...

more comments if possible... i'll see about putting the rears up front... should be interesting.

I wonder the same too, I am going to test my rear wheel to fit the front, right now my rear is 20x9.5 +35offset and running 255-30-20, I will test to see if there is any rubbing to the fender? I know it hit the plastic inner fender, which I already push it back, all I hope it'll not rub the fender. And are there anyone running 20x10.5 with +40 or 45 offset without any issue? because I still have my 285-30 tires left to put on the new wheels

If u wanna test fit your rear 9.5 wheel to the front dont you have to consider the fact that the rear wheel disk might not clear the front calipers esp the IS350?

I'm running 9.5 +35 up front with 235 tires. My liners are pretty much destroyed, but who cares right.

My setup is going the same with your, but the tire would be 245- 30, is it still too wide? and where did your liner got damage? is it hit when it turn or it go over the speed bump?

So I take it from comments that a 9.5 is just fine, as long as the offsets and tire choice are correct.

Right now, I'm running a 19x8.5 +23 with a 225 tire. (I'm not rubbing whatsoever after extensive front fender mods). So my question is what tire/offset combo in a 9.5 would best emulate what I'm running in terms of equal flushness & similar tire stretch?

I'm guessing 19x9.5 +35 or +36 with a 235 tire? That kinda equates to what I'm running above? This would give the same flushness and same sorta tire stretch correct?

I think a 19X9.5+35 with a 235 will be fine. Maybe some minor rubbing but nothing to worry about. My set of wheels is gonna be 19x9.5+20 up front. Just wait

why do you think I would rub if I'm not rubbing now? (again, extensive fender mods done)

- this should match my same flusheness... and a 235 tire on a 9.5 should match a similar stretch that I'm running... what part do you think would rub? if your talking about the fender liner, I aready heated the entire wheel well so far away from the wheel its crazy, its like I don't even have a fender liner (hence I'm not rubbing) - but if you think i would still rub, what part would rub?
