Default New to club Lexus

Hi all. Just joined club lexus. Been an sc owner for some years now. Friend of mine told me about this forum. I got a 97 sandstone sc300 with a 2jzgte swap and a soarer r154 with complete soarer subframe and diff.
Here's some pics








Got a question however, I've got 19x9.5 with 255/40 tires up front and 19x10.5 275/40 tires in the rear. My front runs wen turning what size should I go with. My rear rubs a little as well. (Fenders are cut as well)

Nice way to show up for a newbie to the site. You should register your screen name here: http://lexus.sewellparts.com/
for discounted parts. The savings will beat almost anywhere else you search.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks guys. Loving this forum already. As for my wheels/ tires. My fenders are cut.. I had to slightly pull the rear a little with the old school magazine and heat gun lol. However they still rub when going over a big bump. I was thinking of 265/35 for the rear? Or is that still too much? And as for the front I was thinking 235/35? I like the meaty tire look. But I'm kinda lookin 4x4 status right now. I am on tein flex coils.
