Thanks for the help guys.

If I change the front tires to 235/35/19 im sure it will clear the wheel well, but will it cause cause problems/damage to my car considering its AWD? I was told that staggered is not recommended on AWD from a tire shop. Thanks agian for the help guys, btw its my first lexus/car ever so please bear with me lol

^ as long as u keep the rolling diameter close to stock you'll be fine. I'm awd and staggered on both of my set of wheels. There's a staggered awd mother thread on here. I'm not the only one w this set up.

For AWD, you will need to retain overall diameter to be the same (or as close as possible) between front and rear.

Best combo to achieve that is 225/35/19 (25.20" overall diameter) and 265/30/19 (25.25" overall diameter)

On the front, go with 225/35/19 and you will be about just fine. I have no problem with mine with the same wheel spec with 235/35/19.

On the rear, the wheel will sink too much inside the wheel well. Should better go with 9.5+35 in the rear and pair with 265/30/19 tire.
