Hello CL community,

I've finally made a decision to get some wheels for my car. I'll be going with 19s simply because my car is lowered and I don't want to sacrifice tire choices or ride quality. I have my mind set on some 19's Radi8 wheels and they say they can make custom offsets to fit your vehicle. That being said, I want to go with the most aggressive offset possible for our cars. I don't want to go too aggressive and then end up with major modifications in order to fit the wheels, but I do not want to be too conservative either!




Info on my car:
2015 Lexus IS250 AWD F-Sport
Lowered on RSR Down Springs
Wheels: Radi8 R8S5 19x8.5 & 19x9.5
Offset: Unknown/Undecided
Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks!

 

You could probably do a 19x8.5 +20 in the front and a 19x9.5 +37 in the back.

I'm on J5 coilovers with those sizes and have minimal to no rubbing. Running Hankook Ventus V12s 225/35/19 and 255/30/19

 

Thank you! Your car looks great with those specs

 

Im running +32 offset in the front with +38 in the rear 19's

 

Looking good man!
Quick question...and I'm not trying to be an a-hole...but aren't those the Stance directional wheels (SF01)? and aren't those the right side wheels on the left of the car?

 

Now you have me thinking...im emailing need for speed motorsports with some pics just to see if you are correct or not...I had a local shop install these for me (Not need 4 speed bc I wasn't local to them)

 

Love those wheels They're on my top list of wheel choices! What tires are your running?

Thanks

 

hankook v12 235/35/19 front
265/30/19 rears
19x8.5 and 19x9.5
I maybe in the market to sell in the future.

 

My rear rubs a little under a heavy load or major road dips with Ironman iMove tires at the rear. Car is on Neo Motorsport coilovers, dropped about 1.75" front, 1.5" rear.
I'm running:
19x8.5 +35 on 235/35/19
19x9.5 +38 on 265/30/19

I had Ohtsu FP8000 (Falken FK452), same dimensions, and no rubbing at the rear because the rear sectional width was narrower at 10.3 vs 10.6. One key takeaway here is to be a little more conservative on the rubber if you don't want any rubbing.

 

Anyone got pics of 19s on stock suspension?

 

19's on stock suspension? You'd have more luck asking for pictures of unicorns! LOL!!
But seriously I think there are a few on the wheel thread that have 19's on stock suspension...but not that many.

 

Lol yeah, not lowered atm. I wanna see how the wheel gap is with 19s with stock suspension. If it looks good, I'll rather spend the money on a nice set of wheels rather than wheels + coils. =\

 

I present to you a unicorn....
This was right after I had my 19's installed, but before I lowered it on half downs. I initially thought I wasn't going to lower it at all - I was wrong.

 

I emailed Jake with Need 4 Speed Motorsports the same picture he said the wheels were installed correctly but there isnt really a wrong way to install them. Thanks for bringing that to my attention b/c I started to wonder as well.

 

Doesn't look bad. What specs were you running with the stock suspension? Any issues (rubbing)? And what made you change you mind to lower?
