luke....question regarding tire sizes

i have a friend selling his carlsson 1/6 evos....he had them on a lexus gs...19x8.5 and 19x10 with 245/35 and 275/30...i know tire rack recommends 235/35 and 265/30, can these rims still fit on my car or will the tires rub and throw off my odometer readings....or is it negligible?

finally, do you have the weights of the falling wheels:

Carlsson 1/6 Evo 19x8.5 and 19x10
Carlsson 2/5 Brilliant 18x8 and 18x9
SSR GT3 18x8 and 18x9
Brabus Monoblock Vs 18x8.5 and 18x9.5

Thanks

DMan, are the rims for a CLK? The 245/275 combo is too tall for a CLK. The odometer/speedometer will be affected. The front tires may rub depending on the offset of the wheel. A 245 on a 8.5 inch rim with a 30 offset will def. scrub the fender on a U turn if the car is lowered.
