Default New Wheels (Quick Pic of 3pc Work S1)

Hey everyone!
I just had a fair trade today, with my 06 stock wheels plus $1500 cash I got a set of 3 month old 19" gloss black Work Meister S1 3 Piece.
They are 9.5 front 10.5 in the back, no scratches at all but the rear tires are 275/30/19, so I have a massive wheel gap in the back even though I have Hotchkis springs on.
Anyways, does anyone know where to get good deals of Toyo T1R 285/35/19?

285/35 will probably rub with that aggressive offset - you may be better off with 275/35 or 285 or 295 in a 30 series

Those wheels look beautiful on your car. Congratulations on a good deal. I recently bought 285's, although they were 18/40's, and did a lot of research. Ended up buying BFG KDW's all around. Long story short, Discount Tire had the best price/shipping.
I did have some rubbing problems, since I'm dropped 1.5 on Enkei REPO3's w/ very agressive offsets. You might have to roll your fenders.

I think he'll be fine. 19x10.5+23 isn't that aggressive, I mean it looks good but it wouldn't require a fender roll especially when he's only on Hotchkis which doesn't lower that much. If you aggressive look at my thread below - 19x11+17 with 285s

No way to tell until they're mounted and he gets rolling @ some decent speed on some dips and roller coaster roads. Good luck. I remember that sinking feeling the fist time mine rubbed, and I thought "Oh s**t, I'm trashing $800 worth of tires"

I don't think I am anywhere close to rubbing with a giant wheel gap back there. I need to get a set of tires soon but with my highschool budget it might take a while.
What do you think of running 285/35/19 in the back with 245/35/19 in the front?

I rubbed twice on the freeway today but it wasn't rubbing up INTO the fender at all which is weird. We tested the suspension travel and I cleared with 5mm to spare. So Hai (redlude97) and I concluded that the left side of my rear bumper is rubbing onto the tire (bumper is urethane so it's no big deal) and it's only on really deep dips and doesn't happen normally.

I'm going to try and readjust the rear bumper a bit to see if it will help.

I'm dropped 1.5 on Tanabe Sustec Pro Type 1's w/ GT-Spec front and rear braces, Stillen sways, and Prothane bushings all around. There is very little travel in my rear suspension but @ 60+ on dips or hard cornering, I rubbed. I'm stock on rear fenders so rubbing on the metal could do some damage to the tires. I had the fenders rolled and completely eliminated the problem. It was cheap and effective.
