Sweet, glad somebody bought Sifu's wheels. If you want to add the spacers, roll your fenders front and rear, shave rear tabs and you should be good to go. A little bit of camber wouldn't hurt either if you still rub.
FYI, I have 19x9 +25 with 245/35/19 but am probably much lower than you and I'm at -1.9 F and -1.8 R camber.

I was gonna choose 255 because they'd only be .2% off the stock size, while the 245s would be 1.9% off. Granted, 245 would be the shorter size. The D-specs also seem to allow the car to sit a little lower than on stock shocks, so I have consider that. Thanks for the suggestions!
Yeah, I was surprised the wheels lasted so long on the market! So with 20mm spacers, I guess I'd be at around the same offset as you, but not as low. Thank you for the advice!

Since the speedo is off by a little bit anyway, 245s would make it more accurate fwiw. D-specs don't make much difference in ride height. 245s would definitely be the way to go if you plan on putting spacers. He is lower so the wheels tuck in a little more. Keep that in mind.
As for the tire size, I'm swaying more towards the 245s now!

I don't care, despite what I have read everywhere, shocks do affect ride height. I replaced my shocks (Stock Tokico) and springs (S techs) with new ones due to a sagging issue I was having, sent the springs back to the manufacturer, Tein tested them, said they were fine, and now those same springs are on another members car doing just fine. My shocks did not appear to be blown but they were, results in my suspension sagging. My replacement shocks (KYB) and springs (Tein S Techs) are doing great.
I can't say that I fully understand how they affect ride height so much because only the springs should but replacing my shocks fixed the issue.

Sadly i wanted to run the same set up, but like the others said its going to take alot of work (yes, i know it broke my heart too). Ive seen it done and it looks ugly. The amount of camber it takes to get them to fit to me doesnt look good. Ill be running 19x9.5 +22 all around with 245 maybe 255 rubber. Even that will take a bit of work to fit but well see. Hopefully it looks good.
