Thanks alot, I feel better now about the front being ok,
I think I'll run that size 235/35/19 on the front. we're not talking about a huge difference.
Much appreciated!

What are your thoughts/advice on running 275/30/19 on a 9" rim for the rear?
Too wide....think it will look like a ballon, or do you think I can pull it off safely?

I'm rockin the 19" OEM Infiniti G37 wheels: 19x8.5 front and 19x9 rear and I'm running 235/35/19 on all corners. From the side you can't even tell the difference in stretch between front and back

Your car looks great Nespo!
Thanks, that's another option I should consider ...if I kept the rears at 235 the stretch would keep me safe from any rubbing problems.
I really appreciate the great photos!

I think I agree with lysis about a 225/35 and 255/35 or 245/35 in the rear. Cant wait to see them.

Thanks Islv350 & lysis
After searching, looking, and getting all the input, I agree.
My decision will be those sizes , 225/35/19 & 255/35/19 rear.
I feel comfortable with that, I wanted to get as large a patch of rubber in the back without running into headaches. My last car a"TSX"I had to roll the fenders and had issues that I don't want to go thru with the IS.
I'll post pictures when it all comes together, I got a few mods to take care of first while waiting for the rims to arrive. Gotta get the H&R's and struts installed, then choose the type of tires.
With all the things on my wish list I don't know if the bleeding will ever stop.ha ha
It's my first Lexus, could never afford a new one but a 2011 is350 f-sport with 45k mi. became available so I jumped on it right away. Lots of 250s around and a couple 350base models with high mi. but you never see a 350 with F-sport pkg and with low mi. ever in Honolulu.
Will post pics in a few weeks
Thanks for taking the time with input and opinions,it helps me to choose with confidence.

Thanks, I will follow your advice and go with those numbers.
I feel good about those sizes too, and think those would be the perfect fitment for the wheels.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!
