2010 Highlander Sport wheel/tire advice needed

[nogo]

I am interested in the following wheel/tire package from Discount Tire and need to know the offset and if there will be any clearance issues with the struts:

- Drag DR-37 (Hyper Silver) 19x8.5" 5-114.3
- Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 265-50-19

I have compared the dimensions of the 265-50-19 to the stock 245-55-19 and here are the differences:

Tire Size Width Diameter Revs
245-55-19 10" 29.7" 703
255-55-19 10.4" 30" 696
265-50-19 10.9" 29.5" 702

So here are the questions:
(a) Is there any potential for the wider tire to rub against the strut? There's lots of room otherwise.
(b) What wheel off-set would be correct? I can see that anywhere from 25-40 mm is supported.
(c) Has anyone run Drag wheels before? Look nice but how heavy / soft is the metal?


Thanks for the feedback.

We would be happy to help.

The Drag DR-37 in the 19x8.5 size you are looking at comes with a +40mm offset which works perfect on the Highlander and can certainly be run with the 265/50-19's you are looking at.

Drag builds quality products and the DR-37 in particular, is load rated for SUV/Crossover applications.
