19x9.5 R, 19x8.5 F +35 all around
If I wanted to run 275/30/19 in the rears, what would be the ideal/matching front size?
Also I haven't lowered it yet, I hope it won't look likes its raised when I put 19s on it....

for those of you who changed your stock tires, did you guyz see any changes in your gas milage and rpm. coz SC300 used to take bout a tank and a quarter for 420 mile but now after some biger tires, i get like a little more than a tank and a half. plus i think my rpm also went up a tiny bit....feels like your driving on the freeway with OD on.

was thinking exactly the same thing but its the opposite with my car. anyone else got the same complaint. one more thing i forgot to mention, it down shifts from whatever gear it is in(i got the auto box by the way) more often then with stock tires. is that normal?

hi i was thinking about gettin 18x9.5 Offset 35 i believe? all around because i cant really pay for the tires to be changed every like 3-4 month or so.. soo i would like to do tire rotation :]
THe rims are Sport Max 962
im going to be running stock suspension for a lil while but would i be hitting any fender problems?
also tires will be either 235 or 245 and 35 or 45
some input will def. help me
Thanks

Felix, go staggered man. 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. You'll save money on tires and the front rims, get an alignment to prevent camber wear
As for the fender problems, since i know ur on a tight budget try the wooden bat rolling. and u should clear w/ no problems w/ 245/40/18 tires.
