Default All of you 2nd gen LS owners with 19"

Just bought some 19 inch wheels! Super happy hehe I have had the car 2 days so far

Here is the info. 1995 LS400. Lowered on coilovers.

Stock
Stock 16x7" with 225/60-16 Michelin MX4V weighs in at: 48.4 pounds.
Stock wheel, no tire 21 pounds.

Purchased
19 inch wheels.

19X9 front
19 x 10.5 rear

I would like to keep the same overal diameter as close as possible.

What size do you guys recommend for front and rear.

I would like as little fender rolling as possible, but don't want to super stretch any tires and be dangerous out there.

Appreciate your help.

Congrats on your purchase. What is the offset of the new wheels? Not sure if a 45 series tire will fit given that it is lowered on coilovers. Seems like some rolling would be in order unless offset is like 45+

High offset, 44.

Well that is what the tire calc saying, tho most people on 19s seem to be running 225/35 front and 245/35 rear. But those are almost 1 inch smaller in overall diameter!
