HELP: Finding out the right tire size for my wheels?
Ok heres the situation.
I got a set of 19 in fonza Italia rims.
The width of them is 9in from out to out. what would be the proper tire size for an LS 400 with no drop to make sure it clears.
I got them used with no tires so its just a pain.
Im sure this thread has been don many times yet nothing is recent so I figured fack it.

ok So on a 9 in wide hub what would the sidewall height be?
It looks like Im gunna have to put adapters on the wheels so it will stick out an extra inch. but what does anyone think for the size of the tire.
Just want to make sure there is no rub on the front.

If it measures 9" wide overall (outside edge to outside edge), technically that is a 19x8" wheel.
Depending on what year your LS4 is, I would say use a 245/35-19 or 245/40-19 - either would look a little wide on the 19x8 (19x8.5 would be "ideal" for this size).
Can't say if it'll rub of not without knowing the offset...
Hopefully at least they are correct bolt pattern for the Lexus.
As far as "Fonza Italia" wheels... can't tell you much; never heard of them (and I make wheels for a living).

Actually I have to use adapters to get these to fit yet the offset is relativly shallow so it should wind up flush with the fenders. Im not looking to airbag or tuck the wheels so this should be right. The info you gave me on the tire size is great for gettin prices from my guy.
Hmmm.. it was difficult to find them online yet i did find a co. that made em for Fiat and other mid level euro cars but nothing here. The only indentifier is the centercap which could have been a post purchace thing.
