Would like more protection for Five Axis S5:Fs
Currently running on stock, non-sport suspension (IS350). Wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear with Hankook V12s sized at 235/35/19 Front and 255/30/19 Rear. Running this set up and living in downtown Los Angeles for the last few months has resulted in bends and possible cracks. What would be a wider/taller tire that would be able to fit (in order to protect the wheels) without rubbing on the stock suspension?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The IS RWD model needs a taller tire in the rear than in the front, right now your taller front than rear? You should jump to 255/35R19 rear which is 1" taller than what you have now.

Thanks for the response. Found my answer in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...rt-here-3.html
Although this thread has the same concern as I do: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/the...for-is350.html
Since the rears are running low, I actually plan to swap out the rears for 255/40/19 - would it be possible to confirm whether there would be any rubbing issues with a taller tire?
