Default Wheel and Tires Combo...

I have a 2006 Lexus IS350 and I am thinking about purchasing Giovanna Sabina Wheels.. The size I want to run without rubbing and hopefully lowering the car with Eibach Pro Kit is 19x8.5 FRONT +38 and 19x9.5 REAR +40.. My question is what tire size should I go with??? I want to fill out the rims with the correct tire size, but I also don't want any rubbing... I was thinking 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 FRONT and 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 REAR... What do you think will be the better fit??? Keep in mind filling out the rims...


Thanks,
Dan

Not sure about the fit on those wheels, but the 19 inch sizes we recommed are the 225/35 and 255/35 19.

Being that your 2nd gen IS comes factory with a taller tire in the back, (225/40/18-front and 245/40/18-rear) I would recommend running a 245/35/19 -front and a 275/35/19 -rear. Now keep in mind that this tire size is about 3/4 of an in taller, but it keeps the same ratio (height-wise) front to rear.

Hope this helps,

Yuji
