Basic IS wheel size guide

[Yorkie740]

19x10 on 255/35/19 and 19x8.5 on 245/35/19 lowered 70mm minimum no rubbing! And full lock on probs, Heated the remolded front inner arches

I have a set of brand new Goodyear performance grip 2 worth about £450 from the previous car. 

Wondering if I could fit these on the IS300h since they are 6mm taller overall. Obviously narrower. 

Anyone had any experience with smaller tyres?

75mm lowered

8.5 x 19 225/35/19 front9

10 x 19  255/35/19 rear 

no problems I could go wider if I change my offset little but I'm happy with the wheels I have

I don't have experience on this but it's an interesting question, would like to know if this is possible and if it works fine

@Yorkie740Thats a really nice IS mate! Could you share some details on the headlights and what lip is there on the front just bellow the SR lip? Headlights look that they have black housing on the inside.

OK - likely a dumb question, because I'm mostly thinking of looks rather than practical advantage?

My stock 2011 IS250 has the 17" factory alloys. They look okay, but the car looks just a tad "old man" in stock form - and I'd like to improve that a bit. Wheels are an obvious choice - and here in Australia I have found these. They are available to me in either 17 or 18 inch.

Current tyres were on the car when I bought it a couple of weeks back and nearly new, very good brand. So I would wait a while, if I went 18 - but could fit 17's now. 

Just wondering if there's any noticeable benefit - other than looks with an 18" upgrade?

Cheers
