yes it will be fine.... you might wanna put 10-15mm spacers on each wheel though!

^^ really? 275/30/19 on a 19 x 9.5 is going to be pretty bulky

correct me if i'm wrong, i've got a 255/30/19 and mine(also 19 x 9.5 rear) is borderline big looking with a tad of a stretch

you can see how big my tires are in these pics

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-my-is350.html

mine are 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear

235/35/19 front
255/35/19 rear

imo not to bulky and not stretched really. i think its one size width down from what should be on there

I have the same wheels in 19x8.5+35, and 19x9.5+35. The rears still have a bit of space left and the fronts have a decent amount too. I'd consider my offsets conservative, and those you've listed are extremely conservative. Also, a 275 is hardly too "bulky" for a 9.5" wheel.

My tires are 235/35 front and 275/30 rear. The rears aren't close to rubbing. I'm lowered on S-techs. The fronts will rub with a full steering wheel deflection, but that's easily fixed by taking a rubber mallet to the fenderwell and doing a little "adjusting". It's not an issue, so I haven't bothered with it.

I'm running 235/35/19 on 19x8.5 +30 front and 265/30/19 on 19x9.5 +35 rear. Tires are Michelin PS2s.

Myself, and quite a few others are running this exact same setup, and I think its just about perfect ...
