Default 19/20 suggestions?

What up people? I have a gray 2015 IS350 F Sport with stock rims, looking to upgrade.

1. Looking for the "plug and play" option for some 19"/20" rims. Interested in gloss black Konig Oversteer Rims
2. Don't want a rough ride
3. Don't want to roll fenders
4. Don't want to stretch tires
5. Don't want to lower vehicle
6. Looking for suggestions to include wheel sizes with offset and tire sizes

Thanks!

Honestly, you should lower the vehicle. The car is going to look like an SUV/Crossover

@SceneAmati I doubt it. Not like it's gonna sit a foot higher, plus I need the clearance. Philly roads/highways suck. Looking at Stances. Any size suggestions?

If your roads suck in Philly, I'd go with 19's to have a little more rubber.

I was having the Same Debate.... I just got 19's with Stock Suspension, I want to lower but with all the Driving I do in LA, OC and to the Desert Cities in So Cal I'm ok with STOCK... Plus it doesn't look as bad as everyone makes it out to be. With 20's your looking at less rubber so a harsher ride

Thanks @phoenix888
Your 19s look great with stock. Nice to see I'm on the same page with somebody on this forums regarding bad roads and such. Thanks for the pic.

Can I ask what sizes you have? Rim and tire sizes?

19*8.5 front 19*9.5 rear both +38 offset. Rear is fine no rubbing stock height just ordered a thin 3mm spacer for the front wheels as they somehow rub the front spindle only when turning and just barely (just enough to rub the dirt off) . 265/30 rear 235/35 front. Continental tires. You'd be fine with a tire with a smaller shoulder in 235 or 225 but 225 is a bit stretched for me.

Everyone has their preferences.


I'm from Cleveland, OH and our roads are terrible as well. Nothing but potholes and construction.

personally, i would stick with 19s!

19x10 or 19x9.5 for the rear
19x8.5 or 19x9 fronts
and you'll be able to fit more tire


to me 20's look like **** on the 3is!! way too big for the car!!!

Yeah 20's look way too big in my opinion.

I'm running 19x9 in the front and 19x10.5 in the back.

The tires are 265 in the back and 235 in the front

Staggered 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 Rear and it the Rear Sits pretty flush.

NO Rubbing, did a 80 Road trip from South OC to Victorville with all 4 Old Rims and Tires and no issues whatsoever.
