19x8 +45 offset are great for fitment with DF springs. Go with 235/35-19 tires. Pick your wheel, and do it! Then show us all the pictures. DONE DEAL!

19x8.5 with a 38 offset.
235/35/19

James_Bond rubs a little because they're 8.5" wide and +38 offset.

8" wide TRD wheels with more conservative offset will not have the same issues.

Good to go!

Indeed

Im not rubbing THAT bad, just enough to annoy me.

The setup that the OP is posting will be fine 100%

I don't have DF's or a lip kit, so no personal experience, but I will give you some items for consideration.

Do you plan on driving it?

Be very very careful with driveways, speed bumps, parking curbs, etc.

Oh, and don't get a flat tire ; I don't think the jack will fit under the lip kit to get to the jacking points.


NoLimitz has Ksport coilovers and a lip kit, so maybe he can give some real world insight on riding that low.
