235/35/19 Tires
I just copied and pasted it from the wheels and tires thread as i was not getting any response. I dont think many people get on that part of the forum so I figured I would post in the GS section.
I have a 99 GS300 with 225/35/19 tires up front. I was wondering if I can go 235/35/19? I see most guys here on the forum go with 225 on 19" wheel. I dont like the stretch tire look and it just looks unsafe IMO. Why do most GS guys go 225 instead of 235?
Current set up:
19x8.5 offset 35. ADR wheels - Similar to SSR GT3 wheels
225/35/19 tires on Stock suspsension.

What makes you think a 235-35-19 wouldn't work on your 19x8.5?
An 8.5" rim will measure between 9.25-9.5" from lip to lip (some manufacturers have 0.5" lips while others have 0.375" lips)
A 235mm tire measures 9.25"
A 235-245mm tire is optimal for an 8.5" rim. You can't get anymore square/safe.

19x8.5 offset 35
^ same specs as my wheels before the spacers.
I started with 245/35/19s. Dunlops are a slight stretch in that size.
Now I'm ruining 255/35/19 dunlops again. Side walls are squared off with the wheel and they look great.
