Depends on the specs of the tire and the amount you are lowered.

Specs are the stock RCF wheels + tires, the drop is decent, but I wouldn't call it low. I can take a pic of the current set up if it would be helpful?

^^^^Well that tire has ⁶/₁₀" more OD than stock and with lowering your talking about a probable rub. Rolling may get rid of it.

I've PM'd a few peeps and all of them had to roll the rear fenders, was just wondering how much it needed. Not trying to beat a dead horse here, as I do appreciate your reply.

You dont need a pull, just a roll. So your answer is: you need a roll. Front will fit fine

I probably bought the cheapest set known to man!
found some guy on offer up that sold them to me for $450
all I did was have them painted gloss black and put tires on
best $450 I ever spent

for whoever does this on a 2is250/350: I have 15mm spacers in front with 235/35/19 tires, and no spacers in the rear with 275/30/19 tires in the rear and I have absolutely no clearance issues at all
no fender rolling or fender pulling was needed for me
i drive my car HARD and have never rubbed
i could have easily gone 245 in the front but I didn’t wanna risk rubbing
can probably even go to the oem size, which is 255, with minor rubbing, depending how low you are

^^^^Don't know about an ISX50, but this forum is for the ISF. As stated in an earlier post, I have RCF wheels on my ISF. 255/35/19 in front and 295/30/19 in back. No spacers, I don't like 'em. The front wheel comes within a whisker of the A Arm but clears it fine. For the rear, my fenders are rolled flat, and I rubbed over over bumps or when folks were riding in the back. I shaved 5mm off the rear wheels, changing the offset to +46mm. Now everything's fine
