So I am in search of a new set of 19's for my IS350. My parameters were to find a staggered set in gunmetal or dark grey with decent offsets in which i won't have to roll my fenders. Also not trying to break the bank. My first choice was the TSW Geneva: 19x8 +35 front, 19x9.5 +39 rears. Pic for reference:

However I was informed the fronts will not clear the IS350's brakes. Bummer. I was recommended to check out another wheel, the Lumarai Riviera - which is made by TSW and is a similar style. Specs on these are: 19x8.5 +37, 19x9.5 +44. My concern is the offsets are slightly less aggressive and I have no experience with this brand. Here is a pic for reference:



My second choice after the Geneva's would be the Avant Garde M510's which are 19x8.5 +35, and 19x9.5 +40. Here is a pic for reference:

My questions are:
Does anyone have experience with the Lumarai wheels or run them on your IS? Opinions? Pics?
Now that you know the style/look i am going for, Which wheel do you like best, or what is another option within my style/budget/preference?
Thanks guys!

So it seems like you definitely have a style that you prefer in a split 5 spoke. There are plenty of choices . Niche is a great brand as well as tsw. You’ll probably want to go 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. Offsets , I’m not too sure. I just ordered Work CR Ultimates in those sizes (+35/+38 offsets) which should fit with no issues. Tires are typically 235/35r19 and 265/30r19 OR 265/35r19 in the rear.

Niche Turin M170 - My specs are in my signature - front offset is 35 (8.5") and rear is 45 (9.5") - I fitted 35's on the rear but they rubbed when i hit dips and like yourself I'm not into rolling fenders

Also - If your looking at TSW wheels don't make up your mind until your sure they are in stock - I looked at multiple sets of TSW's and none of them were in stock and I didn't feel like waiting 6 months

With the 19x8.5 +35 and +\- 1 inch drop, do you anticipate rubbing on the front with 235\35 19? I read the “heat gun” on the inner fender should resolve the rub issue. Or do you suggest 225\30 19

If I hit massive dips doing speed limit speeds, then yeah it does rub slightly on my fender liner.. I'm sure a heat gun would be able to conform it nicely out of the way, but honestly there aren't that many huge dips that have caused an issue.. and take it from me because I f'ing hate pot holes and I swerve sewers as if there's no lines on the road haha Keep in mind my Camber is factory spec due to SPC ball joints.. If you drop the car an inch your camber will be close to 1.5 degrees negative which won't cause any issues with rubbing when your shocks compress due to bumps

I had 235/35/19's on my last IS and they rubbed when I turned so I stepped it down to a 225 - the slight stretch on the 8.5" wheel looks nice too imo

Hahaha!

Thanks. I'm going to try the 235\35r19 square setup (19x8.5 +35 -- add a 5mm spacer to the rear) and heat gun the interior fenders...

Well guys i pulled the trigger on the Avant Garde M510’s. After your suggestions and viewing others setups, i went with 235/35 for the fronts and 275/30 for the rears. I’ll post an update when i get them on!

Nice! I’m on the fence for a staggered setup and interested to hear about the results. If you’re satisfied, I may do the same fitment!
