i would not do 30 in the back if you intend to put on a 275, you could probably get away with the +30 if you used a 255

That's not aggressive at all. They'll fit quite easy as a matter of a fact. The will it fit thread is a better place to answer your question.

Do you guys think a (RS-D)19x10 +35 would fit nice and tight? Id like to mold some custom fenders and coilovers again in future so i can get the right stance.

So far who has the widest rims? with out stretching?

Everyone is strechign, even if u look at rick he has a 10.5" wheel with 265.

We can't answer your question without telling us tire specs.

And guys this is not the will it fit thread, take those questions to the other thread.

Well my question stated it(forget the fit one). No stretch meaning having the sized tire for that specific rim size. But since you said everyone is stretched, i guess that must be true.

I like non stretched wheel setups so just wanting pics.

Yeah I like the rears... the front is way to subtle though. 19x9.5 +37 all around would look sexy, or just go all out and get +27

the fronts not so high, the rear is too low. The pics were taken a day after install. It tucks half the tire in the fronts now and the 3/4 the tires in the rear. The suspension is at its lowest setting but reason why the rears are lower cause I installed a set of custom tophats

If you look in your mirror and see this, then you are flush.
