Default ray volk wheels

HEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!

I like ray volk wheels.. want to have them put on my 2015 LEXUS IS350 FSPORT AWD. My vehicle came staggered from factory..
Trying to order 18x 9 1/2. 18 X 101/2 but being told AWD have squared setups...Am confused ..!! What is the correct setup without added hardware or fender rolling
HEEEEELLLLLLPPP!!!!
ANY info for a newbie in regards to wheels
would be appreciated .
Please, please, school me...lot of money at stake!!!

The F Sport rims are the same whether you have RWD or AWD...18x8 on the front and 18x8.5 on the rear...so they are not square.
The tire sizes give them the same circumference, therefore it doesn't cause an issue with the AWD system.
18x9.5 is pretty wide on the front...you will likely run into fitment issues where the rim and/or the tire will hit the steering knuckle.
You're better off with an 18x9 or 18x8.5 in the front.
The 18x10.5 can fit in the rear, but you'll need an offset of +45 roughly, or the rim will stick out too far and the tire will hit the fender.
An 18x10 or 18x9.5 would be an easier fitment.

And who is telling you that AWD is a square fitment? For non-F Sport it is, for F-Sport it isn't...so clearly they don't know the vehicle.

Sasnuke:

On the simplistic way you explained it to me I am going with your recommendations and go with the numbers you suggest. what about the fitment for the front set up which will be 18 x 9
and the rear will be 18 x 10 + 45.
Looking forward to more info from you...btw no coil overs, or lowering springs.
Thanks
Madchy
