Default Should i chage my setup from....to...???

Here is my situation. I have a 2006 is250 lowered on eibach. I currently have this setup:

Front: 18 x 8 with 225/35/18

Rear: 18 X 8.5 with 255/35/18

They are chrome wheels so they add some weight.

I am thinking about going with TSW Kylami wheels in hyper black because they match my color of sgm. The setup for those wheels are:

Front and rear are both 19 X 8 while all four are riding on 235/35/19.

I dont want the car to rub but it is worth gaining an inch in height for the rear while loosing .5 inch in width and the tire size going down from 255 to 235???

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Eeek, your car would look kinda weird from the back, 235 is really narrow. Any chance of running staggered? 19" shouldnt rub at all.

Ok heres a reason i can think of for going same size, so you can rotate the tires to save money? I dont think so cuz when its time to buy new tires you'll end up buying 4 new tires at one time, if you keep them staggered since you have a 250 you'll only be wearing down the fronts *mostly* thus you only need to buy 2 tires at a time.

2 tires = cheeper
4 tires = $$$

AND... staggered looks so much better
