So you have the rims? ET38 is fine for the front.But not with that tire size.In the front you need to run a 245/30/20 And for that offset in the rear !!!.Well the only way I can but it is anorexia.That back rim is going to be to far in the wheel well.Your going to have to run a 10mm spacer H&R makes them.And their hub centric to your car.Don't get the studs with kit ask for the ET lugs.It will make your life a whole lot easier.So if you want the stagger look you can run a 255/30/20 in the rear.You are planing to lower this car right?

How would 17x9.5+15 look all around? I know I'd have to roll all four fenders. I'd like to put 235/40 up front and 255/40 out back, but would this setup stick out too much? I'd like an aggressive look, but I don't want to go through the trouble of pulling fenders.

Nevermind, I found a car with 18x9 +15 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...19&postcount=1 So, 17x9.5 +15 should fit similarly.

Just picked up a nice set of is350 IS-P's and the wheel sizes are 18x8 fronts and 18x8.5 rears. With Tien CS coilovers what tire size would you all think would be best? I was thinking 245/40 fronts and 275/35 in the rear. Hopefully these wont rub. Would ya'll recommend putting some spacers too? Im pretty sure some one has some similar wheel But I've been going through this thread for about an hour now looking for an anwser 
Thank you guys in advance!

Hmm so your saying these wont fit or will rub like an MFer? My brother is actually running 275's on his stock GS430 with stock wheels with spacers of course. They are 18x8.0 rears too. He is also running TIEN coilovers. But I guess the SC's wheel wells are to small? Thanks again for the help. And sorry about all the ?'s

it's the same concept as people stretching their tires but in reverse. i personally wouldn't do either because i'm more performance oriented vs how something looks (if u choose to do so, u do it at your own risk). tire manufacturers do list the rim sizes their tires are supposed to be mounted on so that's something you may want to check.
