would 19x9.5 wheels w/ 235/35/19F & 265/30/19R work on the sc430?

so with a staggered setup id pretty much be screwed as far as rotation goes right?
no, you can at least always rotate it front and back.

if the tires are directional, then you can't rotate them left to right, but you can do front and back

if the tires are non-directional or asymmetric, then you can rotate them anyway you want

it looks like with a staggered setup you cant rotate if the tires are directional...

yeah 255/35/19 or 245/35/19 both sounds good to me.

yes, wheels on my gs400 (staggered with directional tires), i can't rotate anything

wow does that whole non-rotation kill your thread or what? im a lil concerned about this considering the price of tires in this size...(ive seen most high end tires in the 300+ range...)

still weighing wheter to get the tires used or brand new...though id like the benefit of a road hazard warranty since I live in NY(pothole kingdom)...used i could prob find for 25% of the price with half the threadwear gone...

i guess with a all 4 the same setup i can rotate front and back if they are directional...
You think putting spacers in the back will be ok if they arent flush with the rear fenders or you think I may have some issues with handling/reliability?

well, if you can rotate tires of course it's going to help tread wear a bit, but that's the price i pay.

plus with my car lowered, i run the risk of camber wear anyway

the wheels are +45 offset and 9.5 wide each front & back, 19" diameter
cars not going to be lowered... i live in ny and its bad enough...
how would this fit?
would I have any rubbing problems whatsoever with a combination of
245/35/19(or 255/35/19) in the front
and
275/30/19(or 285/20/19) in the back?

what about wheel spacers? is there any benefit to using them? pro/cons?
