Default 2015 IS250 need help with offset and tire size.

Hi guys, new to this lexus forum.
i have a 2015 is250 crafted line.

Tried searching but i couldn't find anything.
The wheels specs are:
18x9.5 +38 offset
18x10 +38 offset

Tires will be Falken Azenis
225/40
245/40
not sure on tire size yet, still need help.

Fenders will be rolled and will be on coil overs.

I'm trying to go for that MEATY look.
If can can give me some pointers i would appreciate it. thanks guys.

if you want a meaty look then 245 on a 10" wheel isn't going to do it. the proper tire size for a 10" wheel is a 265. Stretch is the opposite of meaty. If you want meaty on a stock body, probably better to go 9 or max 9.5 in the back with a higher offset so you can fit wider tires. Take the front specs down a couple notches too.

ok thanks. 265/35 on the rear is 18x10 38 offset would be too much rite?

i'm guessing it would be too much. I am new to this car also, so hopefully someone else can chime in on what the ideal offset is for 10" wide on 265 tire is.
