Default Wheel offset advice

Hey guys, I know there are tons of questions / info on this, but its hard for me to figure out, so i thought I would ask and maybe some of you guys with experience can help me out. I have a set of volk le37 that were used on a g35, and I need to know if they will fit on the is350

front: 19 x 8.5 +22 tires 245/35/19

rear: 19 x 10.5 +34 tires 285/35/19

Appreciate the help.

They will fit but you will rub with those tires. get a 225/35/19 for the front and a 275/30/19 for the back.

is a tough call and it depends on how you want the wheels to fit.
those off sets will 100% stick out at least a inch front rear thats why those tires wont work, you will have to stretch the hell out of them......it looks good but be prepared to buy new tires every couple miles.

heres what the norm is 19x8.5 anything around 32et ( thats pushing it) to 40et fronts 35et will be best

19x9.5 usually is about a 45et or 40et 38 and lower your sticking out.

some guys will probably post pictures about how theirs might have a 35et rear but check out the tire size plus the camber.

if your going for that aggressive VIP style.... go for it but it comes with a price.
if your looking for something to still be able to hit 90 on the freeway then thats not the way.

Thanks for the info, thats what I was thinking, based off of the 1010tires.com offset calculator. I may just try to slap them on to see what it looks like, but i don't really want to worry about rubbing and stretching the tire, i have the x package wheels now, so i guess they will have to do.
