Default About to pull the trigger in a few hours.....wheel fitment/tire sugestion....

Size: 19x8.5

Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3

Offset: +20mm

Finish: Hyper Silver



Will these fit with little to no fender mods?


And I already know what brand tires I want......but curious if 225/35/19 would be too much stretch?? Opinions? Thoughts?


This will be sitting on either Fortune Auto Coilovers, BC Coilovers, or ISC Coilovers......have yet to make my mind up on that.





thanks fellas!

From the thread found in the link below:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=311637

19" Difficulty
19x8 +32 19x9 +32 conservative
19x8.5 +38 19x9.5 +38 conservative
19x8.5 +38 19x10 +44 conservative
19x8.5 +32 19x10 +42 aggressive
19x9 +38 19x10 +42 aggressive
19x9 +35 19x10 +35 professional
Use that info plus the offset calculator and you'll see they're very aggressive.

That is pretty off. Roll and shave will get you +15 easily regardless of lip

Just saw what 215/35/19's look like......I cannot seem to find a 205/35/19 or 30/19......

So seems 215 is shortest width.....pretty sure 205 would be a bit much anyway.....
