Ive been running 20x9.5 rear 20x8.5 front with 235/35 and 255/35 for years. Can also use 275/30 rear 245/35 front. Ive even used 275/35/20 in the rear at one point.... Just roll those fenders,,,,

Oh and to answer your first question specifically. 215's i would say are out of the question, 225's you would be stretching like a ****.... 245/35 would be your best bet if thats not what you already have....

Thanks for all the comments guys!! It gives me more of an idea on what to do now.

When I did the tire size calculator I must have been using 14" as the starting point. I re-did it with my 16s and the 20s and they are off .4%, which was waaaaay less than I was getting before! haha

I really do like the 255/35 in the rear and would love the 255s in front if they wouldnt rub on the driver fender and I wouldnt have to remove the inner fenders.

So heres what im going to do.... keep the 255/35s in the rear and do a 235/35 up front and trim up and roll the front fenders for good clearance. Plus I can get the 235/35s ALOT cheaper than the 215/30s. haha!

If and only if I can get some 275/35s kinda cheap I will do that in the rear.

Oh and to all the wiring up under the fender... I blacked taped it like a **** up against the washer tank and metal, so its not going to be rubbing anytime soon on a tire.

Once again THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT.

Oh and the clublexus.com sticker is 13" long.

Every car forum ive been apart of I have always advertised them.

My last vehicle was a Cheverolet Astro, and here is what I did for www.astrosafari.com :

There is a logo on the rear barn door and the rear window glass on the side.

And yes that is the reason I got my SC3000, because of my astro with 312,xxx miles finally gave up. I was the 2nd owner of the van also.

Not my style but hey, whatever tickles your pickle.

I'd suggest running a slightly smaller tyre profile but keep the tyre pressures up. I'm on 235/35 and 265/30 19" tyres and they are always between 38~40psi. And I mean always.

235/35/20 up front and 275/30/20 in the rear. Wheels are 8.5", car is lowered on Espilir ASD/Tokico Blues, and Daizen camber kit. I had my fenders shaved and rolled a little (all splash gaurds still intact), but there is absolutely zero rubbing under any condition. Your car will look better once it's lowered.

Front

Rear
