Rim fitment question..
Hey guys, sorry i'm pretty much a noob at rim fitment for our GS'. I wanted to know if these specs would be too much to fit without any fender mods. Also, would I be able to drop the car without having any rubbing issues? Thanks in advance.

thats some chunky tyres. i think you will need to go less sidewall &/or less width.
front might be okay with a roll and couple degrees of neg camber actually, thats pretty sunk fitment.
rear will need a shave though as philly says. i have 19x10 +23 w/ 245/35 and -2deg camber, rolled 1/2flat and clears *just*. so you are gonna have much more tyre so you are going to have to shave the guard lips right down to clear i think even at -2 or so camber.

i can only comment on my setup relative to what you're getting. up front you should be okay, provided you run say -2.5 or so camber. maybe drop to a 235/35 if you can. this is a little stretch but not much and not enough to expose the edge of the wheel from the tyre or anything.
rear, look the only way to get clearance is 1) Stretch 2) Camber. i have 245/35 on 10" and the rim is actually exposed from the edge of the tyre. so its a fair amount of stretch. if you are happy to do that, do that, then im running -2.1 camber so if you run like -3 or so it should clear. If you go less stretch like a 255/35 then you will need more camber like -4 or something to clear.
It also depends how low you are as to how much camber you can get. if youre low then you will have -2 as a minimum, and can then get it to like -4 with factory adjustment
