I believe 225/35R19 are not ganna be easy to find. more common is 215/35.... plus the stretch will be closer to the stretch of the 9.5 235/35R19.

I have 19x10+20 all the way around and it could use another 3-5mm in the rear. As for the fronts, my fenders are as wavy as the ocean. I think your ganna need a good roll/pull in the rear, and ganna be pretty damn close up front, maybe a 9.5 +25 all around.

Anyone know why this may be?

Am I gonna have to adjust my coilovers even lower to get the tires to cave in more? I believe about 12mm of tires still needs to be tucked.

No you don't max your camber and adjust your toe. It depends what tires you are running, I did 215/35 and 235/35. Check out the 7 series thread.

Hello,
Can someone tell me if these winter tires will fit my 07 Is250 awd. I am getting them w/wheels for free if they will work. Wheel bolt pattern is 114.3 x 5 50 mm offset. looking on sites it appears the wheels will fit. The tires are 215/55 r17. Will the tire height be too high and rub?
thanks

Well some members will know. +50 offset should fit pretty much any car with no problem.

Why not roll and shave your fenders?

If you want to run aftermarket wheels might as well roll and shave your fenders it'll save you the hassle and it'll open up a lot of opportunity to different type of wheels.

ROLL AND SHAVE YOUR FENDERS.

Style 95 with that size tire will not fit unless you ran a ton of camber.

You could probably get away with a 255 on the rear and a 245 up front with reasonable camber.

I ran 245 rear and 235 front on mine, -1.5 degree rear camber, and around -1.75 front iirc, didnt rub much in front, but I rolled fenders all the way around
