Default Need help with wheels

I'm a few days from ordering wheels for my IS250 ans need some advice. I'm looking at a set of 19x8.5 +18 up front and 19x10.5 +25 in the rear. I have ready rolled the fenders. My question is how much of a pull will I need to tuck. If anyone else is running a close set up I'd appreciate the help.

Have relocated the fender tabs yet? If not, you'll probably want to.

I'll let someone else comment on the "pull" question.

For the front, you will need to relocate your bumper tab, roll and run stretched tires (maybe a 205/35/19), no pull necessary. For the rears you will need to roll and pull your quarters and run stretch (maybe a 235/35/19). If you buy camber arms for the rear, you will not need a pull and can run a wider tire. If you get federal tires, get a size lower. They run larger and I had to learn the hard way. The lower you go, the more natural camber you will have, which is a plus for the front. The rear will need a pull or camber arms for sure. You don't want the rim to make contact with your quarter resulting in paint damage on driveways etc.

post your wheel fitment questions here:

in any case, no pull needed for both fronts and rears.

Here's a picture of an IS that is running 19x10 +25 with a 245/35/19 and is not tucking tire and running a slight roll and no pull and barely any natural camber from the drop



Now you have a 19x10.5 +25 which will poke 6.4 mm (0.25 in) outwards more than this car and you are trying to tuck tire. A pull is necessary for the rear, unless you want the rim to poke farther than the quarter, risking in damage to your paint when your suspension compresses. A stiff enough suspension should solve all of that if you're going for that look though
