Default Need help with wheels for AWD

Hello. Help please. I have a Lexus IS250 AWD 2007 model year. I want to buy wheels:
Front: 19 * 8.5 ET 35
Rear: 19 * 9.5 ET45
Will I have problems with the AWD? Thanks in advance.

PS I have installed H&R lowering springs. Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language.

225-35 and 255-30 for the rear will work for your setup fine.

Anyone know the benefits of running 235's over 225 or vice versa? 225's overall wheel diameter is closer to stock but, I don't mind getting 235's if it somehow benefited me more. Thanks. And sorry for hijacking your post op.

On a 8.5 and 9.5 i say you should at least run a 235 front and a 265 rear, it will fill up the space nicely, but of course depends on the offset of your wheels. H&R springs aren't so aggressive so either way you'd be fine. 225 and a 255 would be same as stock width on a wider wheels. I'm currently on 8.5 and 9.5 19" on 245 front and 275 rear, works out just fine with the correct offsets.

Thank you! How to put the wheels, be sure to lay out photos.
