Hi Trung, I have the same model, and I'm looking to upgrade to 19 inch wheels/tires. Any recommendations? Also, I'm in the Rochester, NY area and would like to know what you are running for winter tires? I think the forum is "Dead" because the IS350 is so dependable and has fewer mods available. I had a 2006 with 140K trouble free miles before I purchased my 2015.

Hi there Gary, 1st i'd like to welcome you Lexus IS family, for 19 inch Wheel there are Pro and Cons option :

Pro : 235/35/19 FRONT - 265/30/19 REAR "You might have a little rub at the rear wheel if you carry more than 4 persons when you go over a pothole or a bump if your car is LOWERED like an inch" technically you're fine"

CONS : 225/35/19 FRONT - 255/30/19 REAR " This setup is 99% Closed to OEM SPECS its fine weather you lowered or not, pothole or bump"

and for the OFFSET, offset is up to the taste of the driver small or big Wheel lip in or out really up to you.

Pro : +35 Front and +38 REAR "this offset will look very nice and cool but i afraid the Rubbing when you make a sharp or corner turn

CONS: +38 Front and +40 REAR " this one is perfect without issue "

Remember our car OEM suspension setup is STAGGER , the front wheels are smaller than the rear by tire and width but Rim diametre are the same.

For Winter, let say you wanna save $$$$ and headache, i recommend you to run SQUARE setup Gary, remember the OLD Lexus IS250 AWD setup was 225/45/17 , So for winter storm ice and snow, it is best to used smaller wheel setup and our car can RUN WITH 225/45/17 on AWD, its will be alright and Tire's brand is up to the driver ? some likes Michellin some likes Yokomaha.

Hi , i'm new to this forum and i'm driving 2015 AWD IS350 Fsport, got bored and hit the search button for Lexus IS  and found this forum, this forum seems to be dead unlike other forum, but its a nice forum setup and layouts. i can answer any of your Lexus IS 2006+ answer Suspension wheel mechanic except Electrical ! thats my car

AWD shouldnt have any problem

did you guys push up your Lumbar support ? check the Lumbar support there a ROUND button on your left seat. Man i hate that thing because it hurts my back.

Go to dealer they had a fix on that, they will put you on an Oil Consumption test if it still occur they will perform piston ring and camshaft replacement for free, don't know if your car still under warranty. go and ask Dealership

check your valve stem also

your OEM Amp in the trunk got moisturized, clean it up and dry it with the hair dryer, put a thin tower under the amp when u put back in

SOmeone has done it, its should be plug and play, you need a new wire harness and the 350's brake+rotor

IS year 06-11 has some recall + carbon buildup, Airbag recall Piston ring recall Dashboard recall, the main thing is the carbon buildup if you don't know how to maintenance get IS 350

Yours 250 smell like rotten eggs once you go WOT is because your Engine burns your Carbon Buildup, its a good thing !
