Default Wheel fitment

Hello all,

I'm looking into purchasing either 19s staggered, or 20s staggered. I have a 2015 is250 RWD. I was wondering what wheel tire combos (widest for front and rear) I can go with in order to avoid any rubbing issues or fitment issues in general. I'm very new to wheels and such and any help is greatly appreciated

I saw this and was wondering if it would work?

20x9/20x10 or 20x9/20x10.5 will work. Either +32/38 for the front and +42/45 for the rear will work. I ran both widths and both offsets with 225/30/20 front and 255/30/20 rear tire setup. I have RSR Down Springs and don't rub at all on either setup. Just don't go too fast on speed bumps or you will dent in your fender on the 10.5 rear.

So I ended up ordering some 18X8 +35 for the front and 18X9 +35 for the rear.. My next question is, I'm wanting a more non low profile tire to help fill some of the fender gap, I'm lowered on RSR downs. What would be a good tire suggestion size wise? Without any rubbing issues

Given that your new wheels have a lower offset and wider rear wheel compared to the stock wheels, you won't be able to run tires with a higher profile than stock tire specs 40/35 without rubbing. Especially now since you're lowered on RSRs.

Another option is using RSR super downs to get rid of the fender gap.
