Default UFC10 tire fitment with air controller

I picked up my first LS400 two days ago turns out it had air suspension so I bought a Datasystem air controller for the time being.
What tires sizes should I run for rolled and possibly pulled fenders? I'd like to tuck tire
Work Euroline DH's 19x9 +15 O disk and 19x10 +12 O disk.
Thanks

Wrong section whoops, please move!

225/30/19 F and 235/35/19 R or 245/30/19 R depending on if you want more or less rubber out back.

I'd be wary of adding the datasystem controller if the car is still on it's original air suspension out of the factory. They are most likely on their way out (if they aren't already), and the addition of a datasystem controller will only speed that up.

That is a great excuse for AR's or like.

Would you suspect this also hastens the demise of the factory air system in the 430's and 460's?

Car has 125k on it, I picked up a Datasystem cheap with a harness so I figured it would be a quick way for me to mess with the height until I have funds for coilovers. Because I still need tires, and those are not cheap!
I was thinking about running 225/35 and 235/35

That's what I've always wondered Mike. I guess we'll have to wait and see if those running controllers have any problems down the road.

Oh wow, that's a steal. By all means then.

I don't know where the AST59X stands compared to their other controllers but that's what I got.
And UCF20 suspension is backwards compatible, correct?
