Default How wide and what size offset

I know there's a thread for this but I've posted and nobody seems to reply. At least not yet.
I'm looking for 225/35r19 all around tires. Obviously 19 inch rims. Lol. Maybe a little bigger on tires but not sure yet. It initially was 255/35r19 but I feel those are too wide to turn in the front. But I dont know how wide rims and what offset. I'm looking at rpf1's. Wouldn't mind a minor fender pull.

While you're waiting for an answer, I have a few questions- (1) any links to the wire tuck fuse box, battery relocation, and power steering relocation, and (2) why an ABS delete?

While the 381 pages is daunting, it is a wealth of information and there are just so many options and variables to assess that there is no simple reply.

In my specific case, I wanted to avoid any fender mods so that meant being somewhat conservative on the drop (via coil overs) and studying the offset options. Unlike your goal, I decided to go with a staggered setup as you will see reflected in the wheel specs in the signature block.....

Employing a 235/35 tire on an 8 inch wide wheel with a +37 all the way around can work.....

Here is how it looks (front only are the 235s):

1) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...a-t-build.html here's the link to my build thread. It's not a step by step but shows progress of my whole car. It's a ****ty car but I live it.
2) it's cleaner and it's not needed. Yeah its helpful when driving and an emergency happens but I don't drive my car enough. I like a cleaner engine bay.

thanks duck05. so im looking for 8 inch wide, +37 offset. i like the way yours looks. the front is sitting just right. the rear looks good too. what size did you go for the rear?
i just want something that looks good and still performs well, i would rather not do anything to my fenders but if i have to i will. i want coils too but i dont want to be slammed. just low enough to fill the gap.
again, thanks for the reply duck05. now i got an idea of what to look for.
and reason i'm going 19 is because its easier to fit brembo srt8 jeep brakes all around. i heard 18's are doable but depends on the offset and rim, so i decided to make it 19 to not hassle.
