just orderd those rims
its 8j in front 245/35 its to big i think
i go for the 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear
delivery takes about 2/3 weeks shipping time to the old world
i know there is a love/hate on the forum about those wheels but i love the simple style
because i am a simple man.

Thumbs up

I have an 08 is250 AWD and bought 225/35/19 for the front and 255/35/19 and the tire installer said that setup will not work with isf rims. Anyone have that issue? He said the awd has something to do with it.

Can I use 225/45/19 at the front and 245/45/19 at the back without rubbing on a stock RWD IS250?

When the car has AWD system it's required to use the same size tires on all 4 wheels. Running the taller tires on the back would shorten the life of the transmission.
That's what the tire installer was referring to.

Unless I'm mistaken using different height tires in an AWD system is an epic no-no.

You can use the rims, just make sure the tires installed have the same rolling diameter front and back.
Is your car AWD or RWD?

This tool will help you figure it out (click on the tab Tire Comparison)
