Default RWD Staggered Fitment


I currently own an is250 like the one in the pictures, just in Matador Red. I’m looking for fitment like this car— what I do know is that those are Staggered MMR ground force wheels wrapped in hankook v12 Ventus rubber, and he is on coils. I’m just not so sure if those are 8.5’ in the front and 10’ in the rear or 9.5’ in the front. And I’m trying to figure out what tire/wheel combo size would give me fitment like this? Currently I was thinking 19x9.5 front with 235/30/19 and 275/3019 on 10.5’ in the back. Thanks!

Im guessing 8.5 and 9.5 really depends on offsets though. IMO, on a wheel like that going 10.5 isn't really beneficial as it basically looks the same as a 9.5 but is heavier. Both 9.5 and 10.5 can use the 275 wide tire if that is what you are going after.

offsets matter in addition to width.
a 8.5 +35 will fit very similarly to a 9 +40, with the exception of inner clearances. of course tire sizing also adds another factor of complexity.
why not just PM the owner or search the wheel thread for posts with actual tire sizing and wheel offsets.

in my guesstimation that is a 8.5/9.5 wheel +40s offset with 235/265 tires.

Here's my setup, F-SPORT wheel and drop. 8.5/9.5, 235/35/19, 265/35/19. No fender roll, little friction sound over large bump on highway and a little hole in the front fender liner as a rubbing spot.
