where would they sit in the fender?
yes they would fit just fine maybe a lil sunken

i have 19x10 and +20 in the rear and all i had to do was roll the fenders mine still stick out a lil but yours would be a whole 24mm more sunken in than mine...

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.

well technically it should go up because your tire is bigger, you move farther per revolution.

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?

The bigger the tire, then you are traveling faster than your speedo says.
The smaller the tire, then you are traveling slower than what your speedo says.

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.
