Found a decent deal on some 19x9.5 ET40 Titan forged wheels. I've seen people do it with ET38 here but they had to shave their rears. Does the 2mm buy me much?
I could also do what a lot of folks have done here at go with some gram 18x9.5 ET38 wheels. I found a deal on those too. Definitely looking for some input!

I wonder if this would be a better fit for the rear than the 10.5" rear wheel.

Rear:
19X10 with a +40 Offset

Front:
19X9.5 with a +38 Offset
245/40/19 Tire recommendation

Rear:
19X10.5 with a +45 Offset
275/35/19 Tire recommendation

With my factory suspension, there's a little bit of wheel lip sticking out past the fender, maybe 3-4 millimetres, around 1/8" inch for my non-metric friends. I added the yellow line on the last picture to show where the bodywork ends and the minimal amount of poke. If I was lowered with a touch of negative camber, I suspect the lip sticking out would disappear altogether. Because of potholes, I'm keeping the ride height the same, so I'll add a set of spats, or roll/stretch the fenders. Overall, really happy with the wheels though, and they are LIGHT. I went with the recommended tire specs. Watching ISFaster on Youtube I was tempted to run these Firehawks 10mm wider, and I think I would next time around.







Nice wheels BTW. I also have a black ISF and looking for some wheels paired with stock suspension height. I wonder if this would be a better fit for the rear than the 10.5" rear wheel.

Rear:

It's unlikely you'll fit a 10.5" wheel without fender mods even if the offset is dead on +55 like the OEM wheels. Lexus did change the offset to +51 with the 9.5" wheels on the 2012 and later, but those wheels with 275/35/19 Michelin PS4S needed some help with one of my fenders. Adding an inch to the wheel will definitely require some careful fitment.

I have 10.5" ET+55 at the rear. I can get away with up to 10.5" tread width and up to 12.0" section width (as reported by Tire Rack) without rubbing. My Continental extreme contact force 295/30/19 have a 12.1" section width on a 10.5" rim and it just barely touches the driver side fender over bumps. Passenger side clears fine.
