Hey guys I was wondering about rota spectrums
19x10 5x120 +37mm, 72.6 Hub Bore (Set of 4 Wheels)
Thats on a stock set up 6 speed. Any reviews of these wheels they look awesome but couldn't find much info about weights or anybody who had them on a 8. Any info or reviews of them would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any last thoughts on this??
I never ended up getting tires i mentioned before but I'm going to place an order before the weekend is through. I've decided on Nitto NT05's but im still debating between 275/35/18 and 265/35/18.
Current Tires (245/40/18):
Overall diameter - 25.8"
Overall width - 9.5"
Option 1
275/35/18:
Overall diameter - 25.63"
Overall width - 10.79"
Option 2
265/35/18:
Overall diameter - 25.31"
Overall width - 10.59"
I fear the 275's will rub even after a roll and these will be used on the track so it worries me. But the 265 seem kind of small in the diameter department. I hate the low-pro look.
One update to my original note is that i'm on JIC coilovers now. So i have much more freedom to adjust the ride height but i want these to be nicely nestled under the fenders with no rubbing and as much rubber on the ground (and sidewall) as possible.
Thoughts?

I feel like this may be a little overkill on tire homework but I found a good deal on a set of tires but im not sure if they are going to fit with my current set up. They are 275/35/18 and would be going on a 18x9 +29. Im currently on Koni yellows with Tien S-tech springs.
I'm all for fender rolling but i just want to make sure i'll have enough room even after rolling the fenders. If you have an opinion on how much rolling would be necessary i would appreciate that feedback as well.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Tire specs:
My front clearance:
I promise there is actually tread still left on these tires. This is just a flopped camber worn tire
My rear clearance:

I just ordered 255/40/18 for my 18x9.5 +35. Will i need to roll my fenders so it wont rub? Im lowered on tanabe springs with stock shocks.

springs have been on for well over 50000 miles lol. My car is sitting at 78k right now. It was one of the first mods i did when i bought it in 06. Most of the stuff Ive done is to keep my car running right. Once i pay it off this year i will start modding it a bit more

Just got some 18x9.5 +15 with some 265/35/18 tires other than rolling the fenders and maybe a slight pull in the rear will these work with stock shinka biltstein struts and eibach prokit springs? Or will I need coilovers so the rims/tire don't rub on the struts?

So i'm guessing that means I'm going to have some problems with fitment? I've seen a couple of members running this setup.
So would 255/35/18 or maybe even some 245/35/18 be a better tire choice; and coilovers are coming soon after I get the wheels fitted to the body.
