I'll test fit the rears up there as I would like all four corners matching wheels and tires. So looking for either used Fsport split 5 spoke or new. OEM wheels are strong at the cost of being heavy. But after bending cheaper wheels that cost as much to repair as it does to replace, I'll need to $own$ up...

Tire store has this but for the 2IS.
35 - 45 mm offset...
It doesnt detail which offset for which wheel but its just 10mm..

I currently have a is200t and was wondering if 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 offset would be 30 in the front and 22 in the back, would that cause rubbing issue ? I'm not sure on tires as I was going to ask you guys on opinion. I have the f sport currently on right now

The wheels will stick out beyond the fender, especially in the rear. The front won't be so bad, but noticeable still.
For those widths, the front you would be looking for closer to a +40 (+35 to +38) offset, and for the rear, just over a +40 (+42 to +45) offset.
Depends if you plan to lower the car as well.

the Mich tires I wanted as my first choice also does not have any 255/30/19. What about going 255/35/19 in the rear? does this solve the issue? since stock rear is 255/35/18, is this possible?

Sasnuke

Going from a 265/30/19 to a 255/35/19 will make the tire narrower, but will now make it taller.
Depending on where it's rubbing, this could possibly make the rubbing worse.

I see, after doing some more digging again, my options are limited at this point unless I switch wheels. somehow there are many on here who runs 265/30/19 with offset 38 either without issues or some rubbing where all that ran 40+ offset were all rub free. so I suspect I am 2mm within the sweet spot.

do you or anyone know if adjusting the camber can make up that 2mm difference? my last option obviously is to do a fender roll which I will goto a recommend local shop for advice today.

Sasnuke

Fender roll is not an option...the fender is already factory rolled...there is literally nothing left to roll.
You could try stretching the fender, but if the paint cracks, well...
Honestly, either get a 265/30/19 tire that has a smaller tread width than your current tire, or get a 255/30/19 in another brand.

Example:
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S has a tread width of 9.6"
Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 has a tread width of 9.4"
Kumho Ecsta PS91 has a tread width of 9.7"
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 has a tread width of 10.6"

All those tires are 265/30/19 with a variance of 1 inch (25mm) from smallest to largest tread width.
Obviously you don't want the last two, as that will make the problem worse.

Hi. Has anyone used a Michelin pilot sport 4s on stock rims?

I want to maintain the stock stretched set up of the stock Bridgestone er33. Front has 225/40/18 and rear has 255/35/18. I also like the big rim protector of the stock.

Saw the specs of ps4s 225/40/18 and it has a narrower width spec by .4”.

By any chance has anyone used the michelin ps4s on stock rims? Do you have pictures with specs? Thanks in advance cheers!

Stock 3is 2015 is350 Fsport AWD on stock suspension (don't plan to change it) because NYC streets suckkk. All i want to do is get a new set of 18 in. rim for the front and back without rubbing or issues but bigger in width. What is the best option for me?

Sasnuke

If you want to keep the staggered setup, then a Front:18x8.5 and Rear:18x9.5 would be a good way to go.

going to bring back an Old Thread rather than starting a new post so the info is easier to find

i will be attempting to put 225/50/18 on 18" Volk Racing/Rays Wheels on an AWD

they are much lighter and forged so a lot stronger wheel

the main thing i gotta contend with are Hub Centric rings

if IS350 is 60.1mm and my wheels are 66.1mm, hopefully i can find a ring that will work

i think going from larger (Wheel) to (Hub) is an easier process

Sasnuke

You can find them on eBay for sure.
My summer wheels needed that exact hub centric ring which I bought on eBay cheap.

Why so tall on the tires (50 sidewall)?

Mewannalex

Those 50s are not going to fit, I had some winter tires from my old BMW 225/50/18 and I thought they would fit, they rub the inner fender, had to go with 40's tall.

Mewannalex

I run, on the summer, 235/35/19 and 255/30/19. I also, use 10mm front spacers. No issues.
