Most Advans are more along the lines of the Enkei RPF1 honestly. Enkei produces a vast majority of their wheels with the same technology. I'd say the Advan's are over priced and these are about right. In chrome i'm around the low to mid 3K range plus shipping. I checked the math with UPS shipping and looks like I can get these to you guys in Canada cheaper than that mounted and balanced.
Is the place you bought from in Canada?

Yup the front is fine.
The rear will need to be rolled quite a bit, even with -2.5 camber.
For reference I ran 19x10+45, with 275/30 and with max camber at my ride height was at -2.5 I believe. At those settings I still had to roll my fenders. You're about 10mm below that so shoot just be aware.

A 265/30 is going to be shorter than the 275 and it will also be shorter than the 245. It will look odd in other words.
Imho, static ride height doesn't really matter under fully loaded conditions. Meaning if you have a couple of passengers in the bank and a subwoofer box in the trunk your car will be "lowered" or if you take a hard corner. So if you hit a bump you can still cause damage to either the fender, tire, or wheel. I've seen it happen.
In regards to that little stretch, a 265/30 on a 10" i don't think will stretch if at all. That's a solid fitment.
245/35 will be a baby stretch on a 10". I've run this setup on my Soarer, FYI.
You have 2 options that meet certain criteria I adhere to with street fitments:
Criteria: Retain factory tire diameter as much as possible. Personally I'd rather go taller, put less miles on the car, than shorter. Based on this I give you 2 options:
1. GRIP, need roll rear fender. 245/35 and 275/30, even better 285/30 to match diameters perfectly.
2. Baby Stretch: 225/40 and 255/35, probably need to roll rear fender but you can run less negative camber.
Without lowering of the vehicle and runnig this wheel in 19" with that offset it might give the illusion of being "lifted" or "raised". Just my professional opinion. Once you get these on the car I give you a month or two before you're looking into springs. Then another 6 months before you're looking to buy some Tokico D Specs. hehe.
