9.5 +15 has the potential to look like **** so give us your suspension info (how much you're lowered if coilovers) and the tire size. Requires fender roll and trimming off the bumper tab in the back even if you are low enough

Hey j8, got another one for ya, the rim i wanted before is no longer being made and i cant get them, my second choice is a different offset...
18x8.5 +35 front
18x9.5 +35 rear
stock suspention height...what would be the best tire choice for those that wont rub , or will i have to roll them anyway wit those offsets? I was going to run a 245/40 18 and 275/35 18 with the same size rims with a +45 offset. I know the +35 will be pretty agressive but will they work? Thanks man

Here is one for you guys.
F - 19x8.5 +35
R - 19x10 +36
I currently have 235/35/19 on the front and 255/30/19 on the rear. I'm having a hard time finding replacement 255's.
Will a 270/30/19 fit?
Here are 2 pics with the old set on (not that you can see much):

Don't do it. Jeff does not have basically the same setup at all. He is lowered and you are not. His rear wheels are 10s and not 9.5. It won't look good if you aren't lowered. No matter what size tires you want, the wheels will actually sit outside the fender. If that's the look you want, then go ahead but I HATE that look (like most people).
PS: I'm willing to bet you could lower your car and be fine. It's 90% how you drive.

Getting the right stance is tricky depending on wheels, tires, and suspension (spring rates, shocks, etc.) so if you wanna go big you will have to sacrifice in one way or another.

Thanks for the help. As I need to order the tires. I will go with the 265's. Eye balling it I think the extra 10 MM will fit fine.
Thanks again.
