This is the last time that you will hear ME rant and rave about wheel and tire sizes. I'm sorry, but, I don't want to spend my saved money on what I want and then it not be the right fit. Ok, I'm thinking about getting the 19" Niche Bella 2 piece. Yes I know it's a big wheel, and yes I know that I will have to get a 35 series tire. Here is a pic of the wheel:
This wheel comes in a sizing of 19x7.0", and I would like to know if that is a problem or not, and if anyone knows the offset that would be ideal, the selection is +18-42. The tire that I would wrap these in is the Nitto 555, the size is 225/35/19, now I know 235's would be an almost perfect fit, but my major concern I guess is rubbing. The reason why is because along with these wheels/tires, I'm purchasing comptech springs or maybe even the eibach's. I dunno, I just need some help on this, I'm practically new, and just starting to understand everything. All help and opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

I don't know much, but won't 19's with lowering springs and a 225's rub?

I am not exactly sure but i heard that it should be a 25 or 35 series tire and if u lower u shouldnt go below over a 18 but i might be wrong. the last thing u want is for it to rub

 

dude--if you can get that wheel in an 18" that's what i would recommend. there's a point where the wheel size just looks too disproportionate for the car--ya want classy-sassy instead of sassy-"classy"
if you do the 18's, you can keep the same overall diameter as the stock 17's (with the tires)-but it will give you a much lower profile tire-which is GOOD! looks good, handles great! won't make your speedo inaccurate (so you will know exactly how fast you were going when you fvckin wasted that IS300), and it won't completely destroy your wheel$ when you hit that pothole
just my opinion tho...--the wheels do look pretty sweet!!

 

You asked for opinions:

That would look really stupid. It would ride like crap. It would probably rub alot. The tires which you would have to get would be used up in a really short time. Maybe you should look at forgoing the tires althogether and riding on the rims - then maybe you could get 20".

You asked!

 

It would look like a Big wheel dude! Bag the 19's and get 18's....You aren't in a rap video!

 

that's not a bad idea, i don't like tires anyways

 

Forget the 19s and go with the 18s. I will almost guarantee that the 19s will rub.
