Default 245/35/19 275/35/19

Front
245/35/19

Back
275/35/19

Will these tires fit on my 2006 is350? I have a heat gun and already fixed the fronts from rubbing but the backs hit the fender sometime when i turn sharpy. Should i go down to 255/35's on the back or stay with 275/35

The rears are fine. The fronts are to wide. Try 235/35.

Default Thanks for your responses

It has lowering springs on it but i am in the process of replacing them with oem springs from the lexus dealership. I have the front springs stock now and am getting the rear springs tomorrow. as of now i have 245/35/19 on the front with 35mm offset IS F replica rims.

I used the heat gun trick and the fronts no longer rub. im mainly concerned about if the back will fit and if it would actually be better for me to have 235 and 255. I just wanted really wide tires

accelerate, did u do the heat gun trick? how about any fender mods? i'd be willing to do any mods i can to make them fit since they are Michelin Pilot Super Sports and cost 1600 just for the tires

Looks good. I just bought 235/35/19 by 275/35/19 nitto tires for my 350. Hoping I can snug the 275 but might have to go to a 30 series or just 255 like u did. How much does the heat gun trick work? And was there just no way ur 275s would fit?

If you want wide tires, the best combo that won't cause you much trouble is 235/35/19 and 275/"30"/19.

245 on the front is too wide

and 275/35 in the rear is too thick of the side wall. The overall rear circumference will be around 6-8% longer than that of factory spec.

In case you bought those tires already, you have to modify your fenders to work with those tires. Heat gun, roll, shave tabs whatever it may take.
