Dont' know, I'm not a fan of tire stretching, it is not good for the tire. 255's maximum wheel spec from the manufacuter is 10" so 10.5" is already stretching.

xna,
Not sure if you got my message. I'm now thinking of going 19x8.0 front and 19x9.0 using work wheels using Lexus's offsets of 40mm. Would this still be ok?
I happen to see a worker's IS with work wheels suing the 19x8.6 and 19x9.5 wheel and the appeal of the lip sticking out futher than the tire did not seem to suit my taste.

btw, i'm sorry i wasn't able to respond to your PM earlier, but i'm glad you caught my attention. i wasn't sure what your PM meant, so your post clarifies things.
you can use 19x8/19x9 +40, but make sure your proposed specs clear the brake calipers. it's best to refer to work wheels' sizing chart to determine that.
if you're going w/ 19x8/19x9 +40 set-up and you want the widest tires possible, try 235/35-19 + 275/30-19 for the ultimate beefy tire set-up.

just run the same sizes he ran, since he had no problems running those tire sizes. if all else fails, go a size narrower.

it would help if you posted the wheels' offsets (which you didn't), but i already know you're talking about starknight's TE-37's that are in the wheels/tires classified section.

Hey guys quick question. I have a 2" drop w/ H&R springs. I bought the car with 19" MRR w/ 255/35/19 tires. I just bought some 18" w/ 245/45/18 Winter tires. I had no rubbing problems with the 19's but I was wondering if you guys knew if the 245/45/18 tires on the 18" wheels would have rubbing problems anybody run in to that?
