Fsport wheel question
Is there Amy problem with doing 18" in the front 225/35/18 and 19" in the rear 255/35/19.
I haven't seen anyone do this. Will this effect the speedometer? I was thinking it may give it a more aggressive stance.
Thoughts?

I actually think it would look pretty good. Using the sizes I gave you would have the exact same sidewall height on both front and rear, while keeping the same overall diameter to the stock tire sizes.
I'd have to see it before making a final decision, but it could be pretty cool. I wouldn't take the risk myself though, haha.
Good luck on your decision

You should be fine.
225/40/18 = 225/35/19 (0.5% difference, which is Lexus' recommended tire size)
255/40/18 = 255/35/19 (0.04% difference, again Lexus' recommended tire size)
Also, you can check out this website to check other sizes: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp
Personally, I think it may look good, depending on the car. I was even thinking about doing staggered size with a 20" rear wheel, but a 30-series tire in my area =
But, 2 door vs 4 door makes a big difference in looks.

Although, a lip on the rear seems to help. My 18" g-spiders (flat faced) didn't look so great on the vert.
The 19" ISS wheels with a rear lip make the rear look much larger than it really is.
Since my rears are spec'd to F-sport specs, I'd assume the same visual effect may be seen......although since the F-sports are one color I could be wrong too
