Default LFA wheels on my GS 350 awd

So I am not good with wheels and tires and am looking for help...!

I just bought some 19" LFA reps in hyper silver

I will NOT be lowering my car... Non-negotiable

F 19x8.5 R19x9.5

WHAT SIZE TIRES SHOULD I BUY...?!?!?!?

I want a clean stock look since I won't be lowering but I also do not want a hug gap between the wheel well and tire... Who can tell me what size tires will look the best...

I'm thinking maybe F245/45 R255/45

Yep. That's what's I'm running. But your wheel gap won't change though without lowering.

Larger diameter wheels without lowering does always look appealing...you might just have to do the unthinkable.

I have these on my 06 Gs 430 and 2 out of 4 have hairline cracks around the lip no other damage (MFG Defect BAD CAST) I have had them less then a year and the company that manufactures them will not warranty them, the rep called me a bad driver lol My OEM wheels don't have cracks like this and those where on the car for years. I WOULD NOT BUY THESE WHEELS.

An AWD with slightly over spec wheels at stock height is still going to have a HUGE wheel gap. That's non-negotiable without lowering.

AWD or not will not matter. all that matters is that you match the overall rolling diameter as close to stock as possible
