Default A little tire and rims combo help

I am getting some 19x9 and 19x10 rims for a 2005 ls430. The tires I plan on running are 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 I want the fattest and highest sidewall possible to maintain the most comfortable ride. Will I have any problem with these tires? Thank you

What are the wheel offsets? Presuming stock height / stock suspension?

Yessir, stock height and suspension. I just paid for 4 new struts/shocks so I wont be getting coilovers anytime soon. I honestly do not know the offsets.... however. They are zone rims custom made for lexus. So I am guessing to just say normal lexus offsets? The fronts are able to clear big brake kit if that matters. I dont get the rims until monday so I wont be able to measure it myself. They are no low offsets or negative though for sure.

There's no way to say without knowing the offsets.

And stock suspension doesn't guarantee that no issues will present themselves either, I rubbed the stock fender lips in the rear with passengers while taking certain turns with 245's on a 10" +23mm before I shaved the lips and installed coilovers.

To clear 285's, I'd guess offsets in the high 40's would have to be used.

I dont think the offsets are that high. maybe mide thirties. Does 245 40 19 and 275 35 19 sound better?
