I had an 18x8.5 in front and ran a 225/40/18 and a 9.5 in the rear and ran 255/40/18. For some reason mine didn't look as stretched as yours at all.

Default Tire/Rim Suggestions

So I spent an hour going through this thread to find the perfect rim/tire combo for my AWD 250.. and I still dont know. I plan on putting 19" Vossen CV3s , I want to keep stock height but have maximum concavity (if thats a word). Any suggestions?

Just my $0.02, I have 18x8.5 rims all around on my awd 250.. running 225/40/18... It looks odd without a drop. With 19's its going to look even more awkward. Doesn't matter if you get "bigger wheels to fill the wheel well" -it only makes it worse as you would sit higher...
If you're on a budget, go with 18s (can be cheaper as opposed to their 19 equivalent), and save for springs or coilovers (coilovers recommended--- I'll have mine on in a few months)..

I read through a lot of this thread but did not ever find anybody with the setup that i am considering so I am now wondering if it is able to fit. I was looking at getting XXR 530s in 18x9.75 +20mm offset for fronts and rears. Would these work? The closest I could find was 19x9.

Take a look at this, he ran that size in the rear but smaller in the front.

Need some help guys. Will a 19x8.5 +35 and a 19x9.5 +32 work? Will I have rubbing issues? Car is currently stock height, but will be going on coil overs soon. How low can I go?

Square setup with that spec can fit.

They're adjustable so you can go as low as you want or as safe with out bottoming out to the point where you'll rub on the fender.

Really? Will I need wheel spacers or anything? Offset is +24. I won't run into wheel well running with that wide tires in the front? I didn't find anyone else running 265mm tires in the front

Default Tire brand/fitment

2007 Lexus is250 rwd on Megan EZ Coilovers. Looking for best tire fitment that requires a slight stretch and as narrow as possible that won't shred my fenders lol






19x9.5+22/19x10.5+30<br/>Shop offered me 4 sumitomo tires balanced, aligned and mounted for $640 and ironmans for $520. Looking for budget friendly tires
