Staggered setup on AWD ! - The Mother Thread - !

I finally for the wheels/tires installed. I went with 225/35/19 and 265/30/19. I am happy with the rears setup. However, the 225/35/19 on 19x8.5 looks stretched; the edge of the tire does not reach to the of the wheels like the rears. Will 235/35/19 fix the stretched look? Finally, will 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 work on my AWD?
Your best bet would be to google images of 235/35/19 tires on a 8.5" wide wheel to get the best idea of how it would look. It may still look like it has a mild stretch though.

I have a set of rims that are 19x8.5 front +35 and 19x9.5 rear +40. My car is awd and I have the h&r springs installed. I'm really having a hard time deciding what tire size to get to avoid rubbing. I would prefer the 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 but am worried the rear is gonna rub?? Should I just go with 225/35/19 and 265/30/19?

The fronts are another story. Running 19x8 +37 with 235/35, just about the same gap as the rear, with natural camber, and I've rubbed a small part of the fender liner away. I rub on the bumper tab on big dips, so I'll eventually have to do a bumper tab relocate this summer when I correct the camber.

I was looking at getting tires and rims for spring. I have a 2010 is250 awd.
I am lowered on megan ez coilovers.
Would 18x9.5 front +30 and 18x10.5 +30 fit?
Reading at through this thread, Im guessing I should go with 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear?
Do you think I would need to do major fender mods or rolling the fenders would be fine?

Like I said depending on how low you go you might need to roll the fender and trim the bumper tab. It's just up to you if you want the 9 or 9.5 it your preference. It also the wait time of course. Again you won't need spacer unless your running bbk and it not the rite disk wheel.

btw I dont plan on going low its at a conservative drop 1.25 I dont think ill go lower and sacrifice being able to get up drive ways and getting through the rough roads here

Remy you'll be fine with 18x9.5 +35 up front. It will be just about flush with camber set to about -0.5 degrees. You can do 235/40 to fill out the wheel gap a bit more, but if you plan on doing fender work (ie. bumper tab relocate and shave away extra metal, heat up and bend back fender liner, and fender roll), you can go all the way to 245/40 easy.
I'm running 245/40s on 18x9.5 +30 wheels all around on my AWD right now. Front fenders rolled slightly, fender liner mostly rubbed away, bumper tab metal bent back a bit. I do rub on heavy dips and sometimes when I turn. Let me take a couple of pics for reference.
