Default AWD IS2xx. Will I have a problem?

Hey i found someone selling these wheels and my gf has 2010 IS250 AWD. I was wondering if she'll run into any problems with this setup.

You would have to roll and pull the fender to fit them because of the low offset so you don't rub. Get the rite size tire. Don't think she wanna run a aggressive setup

Yeah im sure she will. I was asking like since she has AWD, ppl said the wheels specs has to be same up front and rear. But some ppl say it's not a problem. Something about rolling diameter.

front is def going to rub, unless you put a retarded tire on it, then you're going to have to run an even crazier rear tire to match the rolling diameter. Probably like a 225/35/19 in the front and a 265/25/19 in the back.

Then she's gonna hit a pothole and blow out a tire.

Not worth it man. Just get a setup that's good for her. If she wants a serious look, have her get 20's

225/35/19(F) & 265/30/19(R)
That's a retarded tire size?
Is it cause she has 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 rear?
I was planning to use this set up for 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear..
didn't want to go with 275 cause its too huge, and I probably won't rub as much with 225 in the front. Is this okay or will I "hit a pothole and blow out a tire"?

go 235/35 n 245/35 for 9.5 up front n 10.5 rear

225/35 isnt bad ive seen 215/35
having a serious look doesnt go hand in hand with normal safe tires

so it's more about the tire size that matters not the size of the wheel?

Yeah it all about the tire. If 245-35 wasn't an issue alot more AWD member would be running that instead of stretching 235-35 in the rear. If I remember rite one member ran it and his vsc light kicked on later down the road. But give it a shoot. Even tire rack won't recommend that for the AWD
