Leaking around bead need advice
Wass up Lexus peeps! I am new here so take it easy! And yes! I also used the search for this question and found nothing. So here it goes...I have a UCF10 model and love it. But, Just found out my front tire is leaking around the bead the guy at les-swab said there is nothing he can do except buy a new tire, Because the tire i have on the rim is too small 
But, I don't want to spend that kind of money AGAIN 
without knowing what’s best. So, My question is.
Is there a sealent i can use? Or do i have to buy a new set of tires? and what size tires will fit be a good fit on 20x8.5 offset is +35 Front and 20x9.5 offset +40 rear? My current tires are 235x30R20 in the front and 255x30R20 in the rear.
I also plan on getting coil overs in the next month
Here's a picture with the wheel's NEXT to the ride.

both fronts or just one? if its just one then yeah, any decent tire shop with bead sealer should be able to get it to seal.
why are you running a 30 series? correct size calls for a 35 series for all '93+ and for 89-92 iirc.

I don't think the stretch is that aggressive. A 235 on a 8.5 rim?

Well took it to discount tire and they sealed it for free. The guy said the took a wire brush to the rim and put chalk around the inner part. Don't really know why? But, It's sealed
Thanks for the advice everyone!
