Tires Suggestion for IS350 (Tenzo R GF-7 19x8 Front and 19x10 Rear)
Sorry Guys this is my second attempt. The first time the post didn't show up correctly.
I have a 2006 Black IS350 and need help in selecting the correct tires. My car is currently not drop but planning to in the future. Probably Eibach springs or Tein Springs.
Here is the description of the rims PLEASE let me know the best option as far as looks goes and the way it rides.
Tenzo R GF-7 (Hyper Black)
Front:
Size: 19x8
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5/114.3 – 5x120
Offset: 45
Rear:
Size 19x10
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5/114.3 – 5x120
Offset: 45
Please let me know what tires is the best for this setup. Thanks

I have to point out one thing about the wheels you have chosen, as many people don't realize until they have them sitting in front of them...
they are dual drilled wheels right? so, that means instead of 5 clean lug holes, you get 10 lug holes of two different diameters... one set won't be used...
I realize the Tenzo R stuff isn't exactly top end stuff, but there are plenty of inexpensive wheels out there with covered lugs, or, exposed lugs with just one set of holes for them...
Its just my opinion that the extra set of lug holes cheapens the look of the wheel significantly, regardless of what it looks like otherwise...

245/30-19 front 275/30-19 rear...
275/30-19 rear nets 25.5" diameter stock is 26"
245/30-19 front nets 24.7" diameter stock is 25.1"
these would work just fine, both being a touch shorter than stock, but it would keep the ratio front to rear in check and would be a pretty wide setup...
you could also do (these would be closest to stock diameter, but kinda narrow for your wheels)
225/35-19 front 25" diameter
255/35-19 rear 26" diameter
and one final option (a little larger diameter than stock, but not a huge amount and still maintains proper ratio front to rear)
235/35-19 front 25.5" diameter
265/35-19 rear 26.3" diameter
275/30-19 rear nets 25.5" diameter stock is 26"
245/30-19 front nets 24.7" diameter stock is 25.1"

Larger diameter tires are typically not advised when you plan on lowering the car... I would pick one of the first two (245/275 or 225/255)... the 225/255 setup will probably not require rolling the fenders, 245/275 will be close... I personally like wide tires, so I'd do the 245/275 if it were my car...

Thanks for pointing it out though, I would not notice from the picture. They hide it well
