Decided on the Verde V44 Empire wheels in a square set up 18x8.5+35.

These were actually my least favorite but Amazon had them for a screaming $81.50 a piece. I love it when they miss price stuff . A half hour after I ordered them, they corrected the price to $160. I actually ordered five so I have a spare in case one gets bent (hate driving a Lexus that shakes). Also went with 4 225/40/18 General G-max AS-05 tires. They are a little wider than my current front Driveguard tires and just a little more narrow than the rears so should be a good compromise. Tires have already arrived wheels should be here some time next week I will post some pics once I get them on.

Love all the rims out here. Hoping to leave the stock life behind soon!

Was looking at Forgestar F14's and was hoping for some advice. Is a square setup with 18x9.5, +40 in front, and +23 in rear possible? Or +23 all around.. i'd like to have that super deep concave look if i could. Haven't thought about tire sizing just yet. These would be going on a '15 IS350 F Sport RWD. Still on stock suspension.

Thanks!

For a square setup, the rims would all have to be the same height, width and offset. The +23 will likely rub somewhere depending on tire size, passengers, weight in vehicle, and ride height.
The 18X9.5 +40 would work fine in the rear. It would likely clear the front as well too.
If you want to get that super concave, I'd suggest staying with a staggered fitment and going with a 18X8.5 in the front, and a 18X9.5 or 10 in the rear. Of course this all depends on offset, tire size, blah blah blah

Hi,I have 19s Vossen Work and my car is lowered on RSR Down Springs. Front tires: 235/35-19 Rear tires: 275/30-19. Other members have run the following specs: 235/35-19 front & 265/30-19 rear. Either one, you should be fine because you're keeping the car on stock suspension!

Whats the word on 19x9.5 +22 with 255/40/19 (square setup). Would it fit reasonably with a fender roll and coilovers?

Haha I haven't installed the wheels yet! Waiting for the summer! I already did a fitment test and trust me! I'm so desperate to put them on! I went with Toyo tires. I don't know what state you are in, but I'm in New England. I'll be running my Vossens on summer performance tires. I do not need all seasons because I have those on the stock rims! If you're looking into all seasons, look at Continental, Hankook, Toyo, just to name a few... Til next time!

Here is my new square setup on my very dirty girl. 18x8.5et35 w/ 225/40 General G-Max AS-05 tires. The tires have a little more of a stretch look than I would like but I measured the beads before mounting. Natural relaxed state was 8.5". The setup is about 6 pounds lighter for front and 10 pounds lighter for rears than my original wheel and tire setup.
