Default Staggered wheels on AWD (AWD guru help)

Ok I have a 06 is250 AWD
And my wheel specs are
19x9.5 +12
19x11 +15

Tires will be stretch
Can I run 225/35 front
And 235/35 rear?

Thanks advance for the help

I know there's a thread about this but I looked and seems no ones running this setup..

I dont know much about the AWD setup but for the tires 225 will work on the front, i have never seen 235 on 11s before. I had 265 30 on my 11s but can also use a 255.

check this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...er-thread.html

best stagger awd setup would be the 235/35 with 275/30, with only 0.02" of a difference in diameter
but if you really want stretch, can go with 225/35 with 265/30, still pretty safe with 0.06" diameter difference

I have never heard of someone doing 235/35 on 11, but that's just me

Yea you gotta keep front and back in as close of rotation as possible or it will mess with the AWD

Ok thanks for the input..
But Is it possible to run the 235/35 on the rear without issues?

From the diameter difference it's still within safe spec
But I think the bigger issue here is running 235 on 11, not awd-stagger

i think a 235/35 on a 11 is alot of stretch. youll have to stay on top of it to make sure it doesnt unbead on you when the tire pressure gets too low. its very do-able though.

i think for an 11 a 245/35 would be a little better choice. even a 255/35 would have a good stretch on an 11

I've been running a 225/35/19 on a 19x10+24. Not quite an 11" wheel....But i think you'll be fine. I've never had any problems with the stretch on mine
