Your front is such an aggressive size that it may be something you have to live with. 245/30 is a thinner tire but its 10mm wider so depending on HOW you rub it may not get rid of it. However 245/30 is less likely to rub and that just might be the right tire size for you.

The higher the first number the wider it is. The second number is a percentage of the first number on how thick the tire is. 255/30 is bigger than 245/30, so your assumption is incorrect that bigger number is smaller. 245/35/20 is over 3% bigger than stock(that's not good for the drivetrain) and a lot of people are getting rubbing issues with that size. So since you said you want the meatiest tire without rubbing, 235/35/20 is a great choice.

 

I'm thinking of going with 235/35/19 on a 19x8.5 +35 front and 265/30/19 on a 19x9.5 +35 rear. This is a 2006 GS300 RWD. I shouldn't have any fitment problems with that right? Thanks in advance.

 

That is a good set-up, you should be okay!

 

thanks I think I'm going to go ahead with it.

 

Here is my latest setup 19x10 and 19x11
18" Gewalt Wheels step lipped to 19"

 

Need smaller tires to go a tad bit lower running 225 40 up front and 225 45 in rear.

 

Just got these newly released WORK Wheels T7R 2P on my car last week..

Sizing 19x10 & 19x11 w/ 235 & 265 tires.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 19x10 19x11

 

Thanks so much everybody for all your help. What started as a brake job ended up as this thanks to the enablers on this forum.

I'm running size 245/40ZR -18 right now. But I really want a little more sidewall. 18" rims are tiny compared to what you guys use, so I'm hoping I can get away with that slightly larger diameter! Thanks.

Anyone know dealer pricing to fix a stripped/broken wheel stud on a 07' GS?

 

Need help from you wheel experts! I just purchased a set of wheels for my 3gs and am now looking for tires. Wheel size is 20x8.5 +30..20x10.0+36. I will be installing coilovers on the car and plan on slamming it. I was thinking of purchasing 225/30/20 for the fronts and 255/30/20 for the rear, any thoughts on this setup? Also, I'm pretty sure the rear fenders need to be shaved? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

If you plan on slamming it then you might need all the clearance you can get, and those tire sizes will do the trick. I personally think that front tire would be like a rubberband and you risk cracking or bending a wheel. Imo, I would 225/35/20 and 255/30/20 but I'm lowered to no gap, can still see all of the tire. Rear fenders you can shave, fronts are better rolled.
