It left my fog lights bare naked with no protection for moisture to get in and burn my HID bulbs and GUESS what happened...not even one day n they were out. CANT WIN! That's what u get when u mess with the splash guards. I have to figure it out otherwise it's gonna be a chronic issue.
ah yes those splash guards have a purpose lol , but what do you think would solve the problem of rubbing your splash guards ? smaller wheel or another tire setup ?
and what about the back ?
i have ordered BC Racing coils and i want to go low ...not slammed but low without negative camber

What would I have to do to my fenders with this wheel/tire set up?

Front: 19x9.5 +22
Rear: 19x11 +25

Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 265/30/19

Really want a flush look and to fill my fenders proportionately with a good wheel/tire combo.

My other wheel options would be

18x9.5 +22
18x10.5 +22

No idea on tire size...?

As long as I can reach my goal above and not have to do some major fender modifications, I'm happy. A roll is ok.. Prefer not to pull. I also have reason to believe either wheel size will clear LS400 brakes.

I still have yet to lower my car, but the look I'll want will be to have no fender gap. I like when the tire follows the contour of the wheel well perfectly.... and with a flush look.

Thanks guys, I'm completely new to purchasing wheels as I've never done it for one of my cars.

No major fender mods to fit those 18s or 19s. For both sets of wheels, you will need to roll the rear fenders completely, and a slight roll in front depending on how low you are. 235/40/R18 and 255/35/R18 would suffice for the 18s. As for brake clearance, you will need to research the wheel manufacturers' face of the disk (i.e. low, med, high)

Does anyone know if this will involve rolling the fenders. or if the wheels will have that sunken look to them To be honest right now I have stock suspension but plan on buying coil overs soon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
these would fill the wells with stock suspension just fine. Given those offsets, I do not think you will need to roll the fenders

here are the pics, I have ARP extended studs for an IS300 and I plan to run a 3mm spacer to clear LS460 calipers.

here's the pics of the fitment (rx8 trolling in the back.)

Will this work?

What sizes for 20x10+25 and 20x11+28 slightly tucking tires now.

Currently 20x8.5+38 235/30 and 20x10+40 275/30 rolled flat all around. Wanna stay around the same sidewall heights that way I don't have to readjust the car height to compensate. Will do so if need be.

Currently sits like this

The 20x11s +28 would poke 24mm more than your setup now and it would sit near flush with the rear fenders if not poke a few mm past it. You could probably go 255s front and 275s rear, 30 series profile all around. This is a safe size as tire manufacturers run wider than others, and reduce chances of rubbing.

Ok thanks! How about the front fitment. It was suggested I run 235/30 up front and 255/30 for the rear. Just trying to gauge what I would need. I may buy the tires after mounting them to see where I'm at with my current height and camber.
