I personally don't think so. The outside diameter will be too small, meaning that the wheel/tire combo won't fill in the opening as well.

If anything, I'd do (actually, what I WILL be doing) is a 265/35/19 rear, since that's slightly larger than stock, and would only throw the speedo off by like 1%.

The size that would be most like stock is 285/30/19, but that may be too wide fitment-wise

Again, though, just my opinion.

As to the radius issue... 235/35/19 & 275/30/19 have the exact same radius as stock, I believe, and wouldn't throw off the speedo at all. That's the setup I have and I only rub very slightly in the front driver's side when I turn hard (I swear I'm not a fattie!)...

Yeah, that sounds more like a reasonable price. But for $52,000 on this one, really you could of gotten an IS-F if you added about $4,000 more lolz

Could someone do me a HUGE favor and let me know what the lip sizes are for the front and rear?

I'm just wondering how it compares to other rims.

TIA
