the rear is definitely gonna need a pull...UNLESS youre going the camber route. not too sure about the front situation

Depends how much camber you run and how much you stretch the tire. But realistically, a fairly significant pull would likely be involved.

Take a ruler and go see how far past your fenders the wheels will be.

Yes
40 series what? Probably too big regardless. I kind of feel like you didn't read this thread. 225/35 and 235 or 245/35 for tire size is more along the lines of what you need, as has been shown and mentioned a lot of times.

Im only looking to eliminate my fender gap. Are these wheel specs gonna give me to much poke for the stock fenders? I don't mind some stretch to fit the tires or rolling the fender but im not going super low with this setup thats why im trying to stick with 40 series IF I can. Im runnging some infiniti 19x7.5 now with stock suspension on 245\40\19. I haven't been able to test fit them, Im just not sure what to expect with these new wheel specs.

19x9 +6 and 19x10 +6 are decently agressive specs for the 2gs, so in order eliminate the poke youre gonna have to drop it quite low so the wheels will naturally camber in.
And heres some reasons why we say not to run a 40 series with those wheels:
1) itll throw off the total rolling diameter of your wheel. This will cause your speedometer to be off. If you had 18s, a 40 series tire would be ideal but not on 19s
2) And also with the 40 series, your entire wheel setup will look super big and unappealing compared to the rest of the car (in my opinion). Especially in the front...But then again, your idea of nice fitment might be different than mine.
3) your rims are already quite agressive and are at least gonna need a fender roll even with the tire siizes that firelizard suggested. If you put the 40 series on there, youre gonna have to go alot further with fender mods OR an aftermarket camber kit $$$$$ to make em fit

Would fronts just be good with fender roll/pull and same for rear?
Tire wise thinking 245/35 F and 265/35R.

It seems like a lot of you guys have a really hard time determining what will fit. There are two ways to eliminate speculation: research, and measurement.
The research part is easy for this platform. It has been around since 1998 and is an extremely popular car to customize. There is a plethora of build threads and documentation, and just about every possible combination of wheel, tire, and stance has been done at some point, give or take a few mm.
For the measurement part, watch this video and see how Larry Kosilla determines the correct wheel and tire specifications for his Porsche. He has a certain fit in mind, but the process is the same regardless.

My rear wheels are 19x10 +45, tire is 275 30 19. It is lowered on coilovers. At the moment, the rear wheels are "sunk in" due to the high offset so I'm looking to use a set of Ichiba V2 spacers to bring it out a bit more but the tire will most definitely rub against the fender. If I get my fenders rolled, what size spacer do you guys recommend? Looking to roll only, no shaving or anything that will require fender repairing. I'm thinking anywhere from 15mm to 25mm.
