need help/advice on tire size
wassup guys I recently got some varrsteon 3.3.2 wheels 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +12 offset all around. these are going on my 2006 is250 and i need help on what kind of tire size i should get. Also do I need to buy a camber kit for the rear.
Some shop told me to get 225/35 front and 245/35 rear but they said if i hit a pothole i might have a crack or bend on these wheel because they are "varrsteon quality"

im running 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear on my ISF BBS wheels and the front rubs, ill be moving on to 225/35/19 fronts once these go. Im not dropped though if I do drop ill probably reshape in tire liner plastics. Not sure what "warrsteon quality" means, hopefully another member will chime in. I think though you would have to hit a pot hole pretty hard to bend the wheel with these tires.

A 9.5" front is kinda wide. You'll have to go with the narrowest front tire stretched like a 225. I think 215 might be too narrow. The 245 is good in the rear. I'd go with 30 series in the rear. You'll have to roll your fenders and rear quarter panels. Maybe even mod the front bumper tab (look that up using search). They ate saying that the wheel will stick out past the tire a bit (stretched) so it you hit a pot hole and the tire goes inside the pothole the wheel may touch the road and may crack. They're also saying the quality isn't the greatest in that wheel. 1 piece cast wheels aren't as strong as a forged wheel. Hope this helps.

looking at your sig, my guess is that they're nowhere near +12.
as such, your choice of tire sizes is obviously different from what the OP is looking at.
that's the least of OP's concerns.
those 19x9.5/10.5 wheels w/ +12 offset will require considerable amount of work. roll + pull, remove fender bolts, bend the fender tabs up, sacrifice a chicken to the wheel offset gods...
and like sick said, you'll need to stretch tires. 225/35-19 + 245/35-19. but that's assuming you've got enough of a fender pull to squeeze those tire sizes. of course, your fenders will never be the same, and you won't have anything to hold up your fender lining, which means they'll have to go.
honestly, unless you're ready to make these wheels fit and drive on stretched tires on a regular, daily basis, i'd sell them and look for something more conservative.
