i know that their has to be a thread for this but i don't have time to browse for it...but i was wondering what size tires you put on your 19'' rims???i just bought a new set of 19''s for my 02 gs430...what size tires should i put on mine???

staggered set: stern st-2
19x8.5 offset +32 (front)
19x9.5 offset +35 (rear)

person from the shop told me that i might have to put spacers for the fronts...is he right???and if he is what size spacer do i need...

jay408

that's the problem...im sitting on jack stands and i need my car to get around....i don't care if doesn't look right...i could deal with that...ill take a picture of the before and after...spacers or not????and on that forum that ZIPPY gave...the 19x9.5 it shows the right fitment for the tire is 275/35/19 but it also shows that its not the right one...that its a fat set-up...which one is right???

Debonair

Both are right. They are two different aspect ratios. The "Fat Setup" tire will actually just be taller with the same tread width. How aggressive of a drop are you getting? This will partly determine if you can fit a taller tire or not. The other variable is the offset.

I am not too sure about the offset and spacer stuff though

i think u should be good.... with +35 in the rear with that set up, refer to

There would be no point to buying a spacer until you drop it. Spacers need to be measured out post drop to be correct. If you are going with a low drop than you should run the 35 series on the front and 30 on the rears, I run a stretched setup with 235/35 front and 245/35 rear

Im running pretty much the same offset except i have 20's

20x8.5 +31 offset - 235/30/20
20x9.5 +31 offset - 255/30/20

no problems with the fronts/rears clearing. Except had to cut the rear fenders.

hope this helps
