offset?
Thanks for the info guys - the front 19x8.5's have a 2.5" lip and the rear 19x10's have a 3" lip.

As far as the end result is concerned, the offset value determines how far out (or in) the wheel is compared to the fender. The back of your wheel should have a stamp on it with some number with "ET" after it. Some of the "higher end" wheels will just have some serial number as they hide the actual offset numbers
.What kind of wheels do you have?

I generally agree that stock diameter is not large enough for the giant Lexus wheel openings. I went with 1" larger-than-stock diameter tires on my LS430 (245/45/19 43-mm offset, and 275/40/19 45-mm offset) and those are about the maximum diameter that can be run on that car. I'm awaiting a set of Tein CS coilovers and I'll have to shave the rear lips a little to clear the tires when I drop the car about 1.25".
The think that one needs to be mindful of when replacing wheels and tires is WEIGHT. To minimize deterioriation in the handling and steering feel, go with wheels and tires that are no heavier than stock. That will dictate buying some pretty high quality wheels if you are going with a couple inches larger than stock diameter.

I think shaving or rolling the fenders is a MUST when goin with rims this big. I've seen guys who didnt want to roll or cut their fenders and resorted to having a thin lookin stretched out tire and that just look nasty in my opinion
Same goes with excessive negative camber

I emailed JacobT and he recommended a tire size for me. I bought from Discount and am pretty happy with what I have. I did the 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 for the rear and just realized both offset rims are 35. I have not lowered the car yet but plan to do so within six months. What else could I have done, what other sizes?
As for tire sizes, the ones Jacob gave you are fine as they should maintain the OEM wheel diameter. The other size you could have run is 245/40 in front and 275/35 in the rear. This sets you up to be 1" larger than OEM (which is the same size most people are using with 20s). This larger setup gives you a better ride with some potential rubbing compromises.
Keep an eye on the rear wheels.. +35 is not an overly aggressive offset for the 19x10 rims but it will rub the fender lip. I have 20x10 +38 (3mm LESS outwards than you) and I rub.. It will show up more once you are lowered.

Thank you again Neo. I thought that the setup looked a lot shorter than stock. I don't plan on going very low but I wish that I had gone taller on the tires. The difference between 245/35 and 245/40 is an inch in height? WOW. What do you do about the rub and that happen on the rear tires?
