Anyone w/ Fat Setup on 19" Milano's on GS
I have Axis Milano's on the way for my GS400. 19x8.5 35mm and 19x9.5 45mm. Now I need to order my tires.
Based on a previous post, I think I can go fat w/o rubbing or mods. I am looking for confirmation.
I know there are a lot of Milano's out there. Anyone have the fat setup?
If so, please note any rubbing issues or required modifications.
Does it depend on the tire model/brand?
Thanks.

Thanks. I just want to be sure before spending $900+ at the tirerack.
Do your Hiro's have the same offsets?
Which model tire did you go with? Are you happy w/ them?

Are 265/35/19 and 235/40/19 still fat? Any benefits?
Someone recommended 265/35/19 and 235/40/19 rather than regular fat setup of 275/35/19 and 245/40/19.
Any reason this would work better?
I guess the 35mm offset on the front has potential for rubbing with fat setup although most people don't think it will. Maybe the slightly skinnier tires would help?
I feel like I'm talking to myself since no one seems interested in this post. maybe I should post in the 2nd Gen GS section?
my wheels shipped today but I'd rather be sure I'm getting the right tires than to have regrets. I want fat setup (if it is do-able) for comfort and to maybe help avoid curb rashes (esp. since my wife is the regular driver of the car).
Any recommendations and advice are appreciated.
