Default Staggered AWD stock rims

Sup Fellas

15' Lex RC350 fsport awd, with the fsport 19" rims, replaced my front tires a while ago and now my rears are due.

I am lowered on Tanabe's so there is a slight camber that cannot be pulled in fully and hence more wear on the inside of the tires.

I was wondering if I could change the rear tires to 255/35 instead of the 235/40 that are on right now. While keeping the fronts at 235/40 of course.

I am no expert on diameters/cambers/all these wheel terms, hence why I am posting here. Thanks in advance!

I think 255's would be too wide for the stock F rims. I have the same car and after discussing the same problem with wanting wider tires with a tire rack specialist he recommended a maximum width of 245...which I'm planning on doing come spring. As for your camber issue using lowering springs, look into Megan racing rear adjustable control arms. I had the same camber problems after installing RSR Super down lowing springs and these corrected the problem. They cost less than $200. You can check out other mods I've done on my AWD F-Sport here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...d-to-date.html

Good luck-Dave

Btw, I think in your title you meant staggered tires, not rims because our rims on the AWD are not staggered
