Default Need Help with tire size please!!

I bought some SSR VIENNA 19" RIMS The size are 19x8.5 offset +37 and 19x9.5 offset +43 i need spacers cuz they dont clear my breaks in the rear.. I want the stretched look but want some meat on them but dont want to rub. I have a 2004 gs430 Not lowered yet... saving up for that next. let me know if you know whats up? its a daily driver dont want to stretch it out to far.

I think depending on what size spacer you plan on using, that will help folks recommend a tire size for you. Also, how low you plan on lowering as well will make a difference. Point in case, I was originally lowered on Tein Stechs (1.5" front and 1.1" rear) and am running a 19x9.5 +22 wheel in the back. Personally, I'm not a fan of stretched tires, so I decided on a set of 265/30's. Even at that, the rear tires were not stretched, but the shoulder of the tire still leaned in slightly. My rear quarters were only shaved at the time, and I had no rubbing issues at all. Hope this helps you a little. I wish I had pics of the set up before I pulled the rears, sorry.

get 225/35 fronts and 235/35 rears will be good. With spacers, even with 25s fronts and rears those sizes will be fine too.
