It will fit, and it will look good. You're probably looking at a 235/40 + 245/40 stagger with regards to tires. It will take some rolling of fenders + trimming of plastic. I don't think you'd have to pull at those specs with those tires...

ok so i got my 255/40/r18 and my 18x8.5 offset 30 installed on my car. Now im thinking of getting the tokico d-spec with tein h-techs springs installed. I have my rear fenders rolled already will i need any more modifications so that the tires dont rub or should i be fine?

May need the rears rolled, but it will look like crap most likely. Stock height is gonna make the wheels look like they stick out past the fenders. 245/35/19 would work better in the front, and 275/30 in the rear but that's my opinion. edit: the thinner tires may make it look better on the stock ride height

Mazda_RX804, How many times do you need to ask
As I said in another thread, the front wheel/tire combo will be taller than the rears. You should lower the car because the fender gap is going to be greater than it is now.
Overall though both are smaller than stock. Your speedo will be off and your warranty is going to run out sooner than later.
Stock 225/45/18 Overall Diameter: 25.97 in 659.63 mm
235/35/19 Overall Diameter: 25.47 in 646.93 mm
265/30/19 Overall Diameter: 25.25 in 641.35 mm

Hate Scrape 8
you said 275/30/19 ok ill do that, i was only gonna do 265 incase of rubbing. How come Rotr8 is running +35 275/35 and is lowered 1.5" and says he had no fender modding done?

i can say i was turned off from rolling for the following reasons:
1. i didnt know what exactly they did
2. i thought it was super expensive
3. afraid they would brake something
Since we are in the subject of camber whats a good camber setting for my wheel/tire combo? Also what is the max camber you put on the stock camber kit.

The amount of camber you run is a personal choice and can be dictated by how wider your wheel and tire is. The more camber you run the faster the wear is. So your budget needs to be able to afford it as well. Run more than -2 and will find out what I'm talking about fairly quick
