rim offset

What rim offset should I buy for 19" or 20" rims for IS250 AWD? What is the difference between let say 20x9.5 and 20x10?

those r rim sizes...has nothing to do with offset. ( 9.5 / 10 are how wide the 20" rim is)

find a rim u like thru a vendor and tell them what kind of car u have. they will help you.

Thanx. Is there any handling issues if the rims are not wide enough or too wide?

The most popular fitment for the IS250 AWD is an 8" or 8.5" wide wheel using a +40mm offset. 9.5" and 10" wide wheels will require modifications to fit.

Was there a particular wheel you were interested in?

It looks like you are interested in 20". Most wheels in this size will be 8.5" wide and will offer a 40mm offset. Discount Tire Direct and Tire Rack would be a good place to start looking at wheel options.
