Default My car is sitting on jack stands Helpp me

I have a 2007 AWD is250, I ordered wheels for it but they shipped out the wrong offsets. Obviously , I returned them back and now I finally have the correct offsets but , I have no idea what tires to run? I have my car sitting on jackstand because I dont want to buy the wrong tires and have to spend double the money for not doing my reasearch. yes , I have searched in all the wheel threads but no one has been able to help me with a straight up answer.


wheels

Front 19x8.5 +35 I already purchased and mounted 2 tires 225/35/19 they dont rub at all.

Rear 19X9.5 +25 I have no idea what to buy because my car is awd, which means the diameter has to be close. can I buy 265/30/19 for the rear? I'm lowered on road magnets 2' drop all around . I dont mind if I have to roll my fenders.

Go with the 265-30 and remember has to be the sane brand as the front. Plus when replacing tires you must do all four for even tread wear.

You can use a simple tire calculator to see which tire would fit you best, for example:
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I would recommend you stick with the same brand on all four tires. If you did your research already, why did you buy stagger rim sizes for your car?

Thanks for the help. I purchased staggered wheels because they look better PERIOD!

I can't thank you enough for your help. I will get the same brand for all tires just like you
recommended. I will order the tires right now , I shouldnt rub on the rear with a flat out roll correct?
Thanks

Thank you for the link. The reason why I asked if i can run a 265/30/19 is because everyone runing a 265/30/19 tire is using a high offset wheel. In the other hand, i want to run 265/30/19 with a
19x9.5 +25 on the rear .

Roll the fender a little bit in the rear and you have plenty of room.

You can run 265 tires....but definitely fender mod is necessary esp if you are lowered. If not lowered, and on oem susp, the bounce still may require you to fender mod.
