Default Help!! Wheel question

hi i have a 2009 IS350 im looking to get a new set of rims. im thinking to get a 19X8.5 front and 19X9.5 rear. my car is in stock suspension my question is will it rub my fender? also is the ride height going to change since i put a bigger wheel and look horrible? or should i just go with 18X8.5 front and 18X9.5 rear? i dont want to lose the comfort changing the suspension thanks for your helppp. if someone have 19 with stock suspension please send me some photo! thank you

You should be fine with those sizes for rims as long as the offsets are not aggressive . I am running the same size rims but 19x10 in the rear with no rub . Also the pics on my for sale thread are in stock height so u can see how they would look. In my suggestion would be to atleast put some fsport springs to make the ride look a little better

it depends on what the wheel offsets are and the tire sizes you select.

get it right, and you won't have to worry about any of that.

stock suspension, stock wheels.

when you have a better idea of what kind of wheels/tires set-up you want, then it'll be easier to answer your questions.
