Tire Size Help
Hi can someone help me out on a tire sizes for a 2013 GS350 Base lowered on Tanabe springs. Rim specs are 19x9+32 front and rear.
I checked discount tire and called tire rack but I would prefer to hear from people with a GS.
Thank you,
Martin

Hmm. Well, you might consider 265/35 R19. These would theoretically be roughly the same diameter as the 235/45 R18 stock size (668.1mm vs 668.7mm). An alternative, if you're concerned with rubbing, would be 255/35 R19; these are a little lower (661.8mm), and might be a more comfortable fit on a 9J rim. (9J is the narrowest you'd normally put a 265 on.)

I'm on 245/30/20 (20x8.5) and 285/25/20 (20x10) no rub & lowered on Tanabe NF210. I could go .5" lower or more and still no rub but my tires are rubber bands tho

245/35 R19 tires have a nominal diameter of 654.10mm. This is about 2.2% smaller than stock, will make your speedometer read high by the same amount, and will lower your car by about 1/4".
Generally speaking, you want to keep your tire diameter within +/- 3% of the stock size. By that rule, 245/35R19 would work but probably not as well as a 255 or 265. I can't speak to whether or not your tires will rub, but if they were in danger of doing so the 245 would presumably be less likely to.
