with S-techs its definitely going to look tucked
I think with anything besides TRD springs you're going to look slightly tucked

trd is what you need to do bro. check out my car domain for pics, but im also on 19"s (TRD RH Pro J5) and i tuck in the rear on the drivers side (but then again, i have a heavy system in the back). you will also rub a little when a sudden dip comes, but its minor.

oh.. my tire size is the same as well. 225/35/19

go with trd springs or tein h-techs, but if your gonna have a sound system i would suggest you go with stock springs on the back and aftermarkets in the front. (it doesnt matter how high an aftermarket spring is if you have a system it will tuck the wheel because of the weight, the perfect setup for guys that have systems is stock on the back and aftrmarket in the front)

no... do trds all around, you will have a large gap if you dont drop the back as well. but the choice is yours

and yes, i can rotate the wheels fully without touching. and you will have a big system, but the weight ratio will not compair to mine unless you plan to fiberglass. if its just an MDF enclosure, you got nothin to worry about.

oh... if people sit in my back seat (which they dont because i have a roll bar), the wheels will tuck.
