18*8.5 with an offset of 30 or 36 on the front
then
18*9.5 with either an offset of 10 or 35 on the rears

no chance mate.........i'm running et 35 with wheels that are 8"wide and they sit flush with the arches so theirs no way you can run a 35 offset with 9.5" wide wheels

think arch rolling would have to be on the cards then lol

This is my car on 18x8 Et30 and 18x9.5 Et10!

dont be so sure everyone you can run as aggresive set up a you want aslong as your willing to do arch mods, camber adjustments and tyre stretches to say the least! trust me ive been there and got the postcard on other cars ive owned.

these will go on with [b]ALOT[/b] of tweeking!!

Arches on an IS200 are nice and flexible so lots of room can be gained from them if your willing.

Make the car fit the wheels, not the other way around. The final result will be more pleasing.
