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!

Welcome to the forums. Clean swap and nice car. Do you rear tires rub on bumps or anything?

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.
