Question!

I am trying to run 19x9.5 +22 Front and 19x10.5 +22 rear on AWD IS250.

What size tires can I get?

225/35 Front and 245/40 Rear

or

225/40 Front and 255/35 Rear

or

235/35 Front and 255/30 Rear

or I was told that 235/35 Front and 265/30 Rear would work.

I want to make sure I don't **** up the AWD system as I can imagine it would cause issues. I do want a slight stretch, so the 235/275 combo everyone is running would be too much for me.

Thanks!

^ 225/35/19 F and 255/30/19 R would be the optimal choice for your wheels. Besides, you're going to need some stretch to fit those wide wheels.

^ is a good website to check the outer diameter between front and rear wheels to make sure the AWD system doesn't get screwed.

Thanks! I picked up a RWD because I couldn't chance having the vibration issues nor not being able to fit the big wheels I wanted. Thanks again!

Would the above be OK. I have 19x8.5 and 19x10 with 235/35 and 275/30 right now. I had a lot of rubbing in front with the 235/35 at the height I want the car.

So could I switch to 225/35 and 265/30 and still be ok?

I remember a better rolling diameter website than the 1010, but I can't find it.

Well, I quoted new tires and I don't feel like paying the money.

So I'm looking to get some Advan RS's

18x9 29mm
18x10 35mm

I might have to stretch, but what tires would I run with this set up?

Can i run this set up 19x9+31 with 225/35/19 & 19x10 +24 with 245/35/19 ?

The 1010 tire calculator does not offer option to choose 19x10

Jbounoi you should be good on those tires. It will give you a little stretch which im thinking what you want since your on coilover.

IS3003o3 225-40 front and 255-35 rear will be good on your set up.

if I'm running 18X9 front and 18X10 rear +25 offset for both, am I safe with 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear? roll diameter difference is 0.2%?

19x8.5 +29 225/35/19 & 19x10 +36 265/30/19, any problems? I know a lot of people run 235/35 and 275/30, but I'm trying to get rid of some rubbing in the front.
