Default 275/30/19 tire on 19x8.5 (35 offset) wheel?

Searched the hell out of this site for data on this, but no one seems to have either had a 35 offset or ran 275/35s instead. So I'm lowered on BCRs, and currently run about 2.8 degree rear negative camber (have adjustable camber arms). Unlike most, I don't mind having a fat tire; so the "looks-factor" I don't mind. I just want those that have ran this setup or something VERY similar to post up pics and tell me about your experiences. Fenders are not currently shaved or rolled or pulled; I have no problems with shaving them if needed.

BTW, this setup is for my RWD '06 IS350 with Genesis Track wheels.

Here's what a 275/35 will look like on a 8.5 "Track" wheel :

Oh, to update this thread, I ended up getting 225/35/19s and 245/35/19s for my "Track" wheels. The fronts are the perfect size for as low as I am (24 3/4" front, 25 in rear). Not to mention the 30 offset in front with the 5mm spacer. I could definitely fit 255/35s in the rear, but I plan on adding a 5mm spacer in the rear too to sorta get flushish.

i think a 275/30 is too wide of a tire for a 8.5" width wheel personally. i had a 265/30 on a 19x10 on my first wheel setup and that was nice and square

^Oh I definitely agree! But I was gonna get a killer deal on a set of tires at that size and had to see what everyone thought.
