Default Will 19x9.5 25mm offset wheels fit?

Would 19x9.5 25mm offset wheels fit on a 2017 IS300 AWD with no rubbing or modifications done, if possible does anyone know the maximum size that can be run all around with no rubbing or modifications done? And if anyone is running 19x9.5 all around could you post a picture?

Welcome to the forum!

Would 19x9.5 25mm offset wheels fit on a 2017 IS300 AWD with no rubbing or modifications done? No, it will rub on the front and rear...how much will depend on if the vehicle is lowered or at stock height.
If possible does anyone know the maximum size that can be run all around with no rubbing or modifications done? Currently 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35/18 is the widest square setup...if you drop the tire size to 265/30/19, you should be able to run 19x9.5 +38 square.
And if anyone is running 19x9.5 all around could you post a picture? I don't think anyone has it for a square setup.

It's great question...for better response opportunities consider posting in the general chat section for 3IS or the wheel thread for 3IS.
This is the build thread section, so it doesn't see as much traffic and the other sections mentioned above.

I want to run a square setup with 19inch rims with no rubbing, The company I ordered from said 19x9.5 should not rub before I posted this forum but they have not been shipped out yet so I have the option to cancel the order still. Do you know if 19x8.5 in a square setup would fit all around or is it the 25mm offset that will cause rubbing?

Seems like you know more than enough to help me out if you don't mind haha.

The issue with the 19x9.5 is the offset (+25)...if they offer a +38 in the same rim, then that will fit.
A 19x8.5 square setup will fit once the offset is not lower than +30. Likely they will offer +35 offset, which will fit.
If you get a 19x8.5 +35, you have a few options for tires:
225/35/19
235/35/19
255/30/19

They offer a 30mm and a 45mm offset as well for the wheels I want, Would any of those offsets work with a 8.5 or 9.5 square setup on 19s?

If you're going for a square 19 setup, then 19x8.5 +30 will fit.
19x9.5 +45 will fit the rear, but not the front.
19x9.5 +30 won't fit either.
19x8.5 +45 should fit by the numbers, but likely the spoke design may not clear the front calipers.

Thanks for the help the wheels I ordered were 19x9.5 30mm not 25mm, my mistake. I got the wheels from TDot Performance and after I ordered the wheels they stopped replying to my emails, I sent them multiple emails trying to cancel the order but they did not respond, just an hour ago they sent me the tracking info for the original wheels I ordered. Now I have the option to do the modifications to my car so they wont rub or I can go through the whole return process and get the 19x8.5 30mm.

Would the modifications I have to do be major or just a little bit of work? What are your thoughts on what I should do?

I would call them up and tell them to check their emails since you sent them multiple messages to cancel the order...and now it's shipped.
Failing that, if it's something than needs to be signed for on delivery, simply don't accept the package and the courier will have to return it to sender.
Failing that, I got nothing else.

To make the wheels fit you are going to need camber kits for the front and rear.
There are several options for the rear, but I haven't seen any for the AWD front...only the RWD front.
Ultimately if you did find something that worked, the extra camber will wear the tires on the inside edge before the rest of the tread wears out...so now you're into replacing tires sooner than expected.
If your car is stock height, you could try using 255/30/19 tires and hope and pray you don't hit any big bumps so that it rubs. You could try a narrow tire, like a Firestone Firehawk.
If you carry passengers and cargo normally then you're probably going to get some rubbing depending on total weight.

I will try returning them or not accepting them once they arrive. The company has shut off their telephone lines and is not responding to any emails, thanks for the help.

Got the wheels installed 2 weeks ago, everything fits fine, thanks for your help.

What was the final setup (rim size, offset, tire size) at the end of the day that fit?

Hey Sasnuke,

What tire sizes would you recommend in the rear for a 19x9.5 with a 40 offset? Thanks
