At least go with a 19x9+35 front and 19x10+35 but with out a bit of a drop it's gonna have a good amount of gap in the wheel well.

Brought my car to the dealer today to install my summer rims. I have the 19 inch genesis track wheels.

Front:19x8
Rear: 19x8.5

My tire guy recommended 225/35/19 in the front and 255/30/19 in the rear, but lexus is telling me its going to cause a problem. What do you guys think?

I'm driving an 07 AWD is250 dropped on H&R springs.

You should be fine that real close to rolling diameter. Just keep an eye out on your tread wear. Unlike rwd you can't just replace one or two tires. Must replace all four depending if there new. I ran 235-35/265-30-19 and the dealer said I'm ok as long as I know to keep the tire wear even.

How did it drive?
Did you have any warning lights go on, traction control out of whack, speedometer off, etc?

It will work if you want a really stretch out in the rear. But depending on the offset.
