Yah I'm running a staggered set up, 19x8.5 front by 19x9.5 rear. If your car is rear wheel drive you can do a staggered set up, however if your running an AWD IS250 you have to run the same size for all your wheels. Running a staggered set up on an AWD can seriously mess up your drive train.

Nice job !! i also have an IS250 with the staggered 19'" Evolves as well, i love the wheels. I am running 235/35/19 on the front and 275/35/19 on the rear. I have not yet dropped it, and i need to know if you had any rubbing issues when you dropped yours. Also did yopu use springs or coilovers to drop yours ? if so, what type and how much did you drop it ? did you have to roll your fenders ?

thanks dude. i like'em too! the ride is still smooth and quiet with my current-conservative setup. my car is lowered on 1.25" tanabe drop springs (preferably i would like to have gone w/ coil overs but i've had the springs for 2 years now and that was all i could afford at the time. hmm...is it time for an upgrade...maybe ? the ride does rub a little, but only when i make fast-sharp turns. like say turning into a drive way that goes up. but other than that the ride is cherry. i just have to make sure i take it easy when turning, so no road courses for me . i also did not have to do any fender modification. im kinda weary of all that stuff cuz it is my daily driver.
