Default would this fit our cars? 255/35/19f & 275/35/19r?

Hi guys! I was wondering if 19x8.5x 35mm offset front and 19x9.5 x 40mm offset rear would fit the Lexus IS250? The tires are wrapped with 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rears? I plan to lower the car..

Thanks for your help!!!

Rear tires are wayyyy too big. 225/35 for the front and you could use those 255/35 for the rear.

Awe.. you think so? Will it rub like crazy!? lol

I'm not worried about it being higher than the stock height, I'm just worried about fitment. If I were to roll the fenders, would they possibly fit? I see people fitting 235/35/20f (20x9) and 275/30/20r (20x10.5) and its almost the same height as the 255/35/19 and 275/35/19...

I like meaty tires, I'm afraid to hit potholes and stuff. Bent my wheels before when I had thin tires.

255/35/19 That's my rear tire, right there. Why do you want to go that big and fat?

You can get away in fitment on 275 on the rear depending on the offset, 255/35 in the front is what I'm imaging that is too big in the front

Oh ok. What's the max I can put on the front? I probably would have to roll the front and ear fenders huh? I'm actually asking for my friend. She didn't want to do it lol

rear will be fine at 275/30...it will sit nice and wide in the rear, won't rub unless you are slamming hte car, 255 for the front is too much the most i would say is 235 and that will be fine no rubbing..

im on 19x8.5 with 19/35/235 tire, 30 offset. Lowered with H&R sport springs. and i rub in front on dips and bumps and random freeway bumps/dips lol (and 30 degree turns). 275/35 in back should work fine. im on 265/35 and wouldnt mind 275/35. Kinda depends on if your car is lowered, and offset of the wheels. Goodluck man!

Your wheels specs are the same as mine, my old tire set up was 235/35/19 (f) and 265/30/19 (r), on tanabe drop springs and it worked fine. No rubbing at all except if you did a really fast u-turn the front would rub a bit. But again it's all in your preference, you like the meaty tire look? Are the road conditions in your area that bad where you need fatter tires? And also how low are you going, with the meaty tire set up you won't be able to go that low w/o running into major rubbing issues. You should take these questions into consideration and decide which best suits your needs.

Default springs

Thanks for your help guys. She's going to go with:

235/35/19 front and 255/35/19 rear
The rims are 19x8.5 x35offset front and 19x9.5 x40offset rears

What springs would you guys recommend? She's looking for a clean low look. Maybe a two finger gap between the fenders. Also, something with better handling so I'm guessing a stiffer ride is ok...

Thanks!

Go with H&R springs. Use search and look at pics in here. You can also look in the suspension section
