I am looking for advice for my IS250 AWD. Please recommend the right tires sizes and brand for me? I am looking to go 19" S5:F's in gunmetal. Please no staggered recommendations.

Default my own S5:F, finally...
Silver S5:F
F - 8.5 225/35/19
R - 9.5 265/30/19

Phone camera. Poor pic quality.

Im using Hankook Ventus V12 Evo. So far, I am impressed. Zero Noise, Great Handle. I dunno about longevity yet. But I had Michelin Pilot Sport previously and I got 10000 miles off it.

Very Nice!!! You got the color I almost went for...

It's Silver with a sort of light cool blue mixed in there.

Hey can some tell me which size S5's they have along with their drop without any rub. I plan on getting the 19's, but I don't want any rub on the fender.

I have Eibach Springs with my 19's.... no rub. I use 225/35 on front and 265/30 on rear. I think 255/35 would work well too.

Sounds good. Thanks so much for your comments.

Question....Do the S5's come in black? That would be more ideal look I would want on my black Lexus.

Awe shucks! They need black!

I wonder how much it would cost to have them painted in flat black?
