Default Tires and spacers for 19" Fsports??

OK, I have a is350 on H&R springs and I just ordered 19" Fsport wheels. (18x8 and 19x9 +40 all around). I know Lexus recommends 225/35 and 255/35 but i want a meaty tire to fill up my wheels gaps and protect my rims from the terrible NJ roads. is 235/35 and a 275/35 crazy talk? not looking to lower my car anymore because i scrape everyday as it is. And should i throw on some 10mm spacers front and rear? I like the look of juice14 opposed to a stretched slammed setup. would a 265/35 be better?

I think 235/35 front and 265/35 rear are perfect for looks and what you are looking for. 275s on the rear minght make the wheel look weird, the side wall might stick out like a bubble. depends on your taste anyways. also remember taller tires will fill the fender gap more, but will make the car higher off te ground, depends on how low your HR are

Thanks for the reply buddy. I hate fender gap and wouldn't mind if my car was raised a little bit due to the tires. 265/35 sounds good.

hey. I have F-sport setup. 225/35 front and 255/35 rear. (the recommended set from dealer)

Well, if you go larger on the rear already, it will def. make it look like you have bubbles on rear.

As of spacers, I tried the 15mm front 20mm rear with f-sport springs and shocks. Not a good idea.... If you try the 10mms, get fenders rolled just in case. I am planning on having 10s all around with fenders rolled or shaved (up to you on that part).
