you can go offsets in the low 30's and wouldnt have to roll depending on tire size and suspension set up.

Default 18" Wheels Q's

I need new tires for my 350 so i figure i might as well get some new rims. Im leaning towards 18's rather than 19's. I was just wondering what offset i should go with front and rear for a nice flush look and how wide can i go front and rear without rubbing?
I think im going to go with blitz 03's i have a set of 17's on my supra and I think they will look clean my IS too. So if anybody knows where some are for a good price lmk.

Thanks

btw i have f-sport shocks ans springs and sways all around.

I had 18x8.5 +38 fronts & 18x9.5 +38 rear.

I liked the fitment, but it may not be aggressive enough for you, since I ran them like that with stock tires and stock sport suspension. Looked pretty good.

But I like my 19's more. It seems to have that little extra that I felt the 18's were missing. If the car is dropped, it won't make as much of a difference.

Nice, i like your setup.

So would this wheel setup work (fit without alot of rubbing and look flush) Blitz 03's 18x9 +22 offset in the front and 18x10 +22 offset in the rear?

Thanks

youll rub a little. shave the rear a little bit, and roll the front.

your gunna wana run a 235/35/18 in the front, and a 255/35/18 in the rear for the widths and so you dont run the chance of blowing out

(btw that is a safety suggestion, there are people on here that are stretching a 215 over a 9", and a 235 on a 10")

drop your car first before putting those wheels on then; it'll look a lot better than staying on your current ride height with aftermarket rims especially since your car is AWD. but yes those wheels will fit no problem...not sure about tire sizes though; maybe someone living in snowy conditions can chime in for you

the tread has more to do with the driving conditions. But, its nice of you to bring up the conditions part. I wasnt even thinking about it.

I was more concerned with the look he wanted to have on the tires.

Default Need help from wheel guru's

Hey guys, I recently just trade my 350z in for an IS350. I have been looking for some rims and finally settle on a set of new SSR SP3. The problem is I don't know much about the offset, wheel disk, the only thing I know are size and width I searched the forum for info, but came up dry.

I want to go with 18x9 f and 18x10 r, but I don't know which offset or what type of disk would fit my IS350. The car will be drop on Tein/F-Sport springs, I don't want to do any fender works, and I don't want any rubbing issue. So, any help will be appreciated

Why not try looking first at the wheel thread that is sticky-ed at the top of this forum? Other owners post their sizes and offsets and usually say if they needed to do any fender modifications. Should be pretty simple to figure out.
