Default Need help on my tire set-up

I just bought some 19"x8" Moda R6 rims for my SC300 from a private seller and it came with these new tires:

front: 235/35/19
rears: 245/45/19

I believe the offset for the rims are 38.

Will these tires fit? I'm more concerned about the rears since the tires are much taller. From my research, the correct tire sizes are 245/40/19 for my sized rims.

I think my rear will be much higher and I'll have that "dragster" look My car will be lowered on Tein Basics.

Thanks!

very stupid tires setup on your car now imho, pretty off

i think the offset is good

for tires, if you want spect it should be 245/35/19s. if you want more cushion, get 245/40/19. more sidewall, more comfortable, but diameter over spec and your speedo off by couple of %

^ thanks for the info.

yeah I don't know why the previous owner had this set-up...maybe it was for his rustang

I was just curious if I can run on these for a while since these are new tires. Looks like new tires are in order.
