I'd highly recommend rereading this thread or do a search within this thread for "19x11" and "+37". You will see most F80 cars run a maximum of a 295 rear tire. The F80 wheel arch can accept a little less tire than an F82 chassis. Most people are choosing a 265/35/19 and 295/30/19 rear which is not ideal whatsoever, but seems like it's working .

Providing tire size recommendations start with choosing one specific tire, since all tires brands/models may measure differently. With that said, I am assuming we are talking about the Michelin PS4S tire. A 275/30/19 front and 295/30/19 rear would probably be your best bet with your indicated wheel widths/offsets as it satisfies most parameters the best; the sidewall thickness is on the skinnier side, but still not unacceptable. A 305-wide tire is a little too wide for the 11" +37 unless you are OK with a little rubbing at extreme circumstances and adding some considerable extra camber to get it to fit. A 265/35 and 295/35 would be ideal, but like you said the 295/35 PS4S has a very narrow tread width (less than a 285/35). The downsides of the 275/30 front is the sidewall height is a little on the skinny side but not terrible. A 265/30 is definitely too skinny.
I got a set of 18x10.5 +30 Sagas and unfortunately already on KWv3. Would like to fit 295/35, but need to convert my from springs to linear. I can't seem to find any real good info on how to do that. Any ideas?

Check out this video I saw awhile back where Studio RSR did this: https://youtu.be/cvw0Rsk_RUY?si=UIj5G2_qgPgxXL8h

I looked into this like you awhile back when I swapped to 18x10.5 square, but ultimately ended up switching setups completely so no personal experience with this. But they should be able to give you some info.

Thanks for the reply! I've seen this video before and it looks like it's just as simple as the spring, helper, and middle piece that keeps the two together. the hard part is figuring out the helper & spring heights and load. Just trying to get a similar feel as stock KWv3, but these details are hard to find

These are my favorite wheels for any sports car. I'm sure they would look funny on a Land cruiser. Timeless
