I had 255 on 9.5 rims and the strecth was soooooo small that it didn't even look like a strecth. It looked almost exactly the same when I had the same tire on a 8.5 inch rim.

I concur.

Although I prefer a 265/30 or 275/30 on a 19x9.5 wheel, remember that a 255/35 was the OEM rear tire installed on all IS-F's, '08 through '14. '08-'11 had a 19x9 rear wheel, '12-'14 a 19x9.5.

Why did you have to order, there were no white on red available? Seems pretty common

At the time of ordering there were no white/Rioja cars within 250 miles of me. Another obstacle was I wanted AWD which made it even harder to find.
