Would the following fit with no rubbing if I *don't* lower my car?

19x9.5 +22, 235/35/19
19x10.5 + 22, 275/30/19

Thanks!

Thanks!
Let me consider that you should lower it. Your car will look like a tonka truck without the drop Too much poke. If you decide to lower it, camber arms will help a lot w/ a roll or slight pull.

Thanks, it's not that I won't be lowering it, but I probably don't have the money just yet, so I'm wondering if it'll fit for now without any fender work...

Visually, do you have an idea what it'll look like? Would the wheels be too wide and be sticking out past the fender?

The wheels will deff. stick out past the fenders until you lower it and camber them in.

okay let's ask this way: what offset should it be when i don't want to pull the fenders, or at least very slightly. i am thinkin about work vs xx wheels and i want the deepest dish as possible, the wheel shouldn't stick out. I am not sure but i think it is called flush.

it should kinda look like one of these rides:

and i want to avoid a camber kit, because i think it is not allowed here in germany
so, what would be the best sizes for tires and wheels?

Docfreud you can run 19x9.5+35 front with a roll and 19x10.5 +40 no need to pull. Maybe just a roll. As for lip size your gonna have to ask the manufacture what they can do for you.

okay thanks, this helps a lot.
what tire sizes should it be? stretched tires are welcome

but i have another questions, i've found some bbs le mans wheels for audi (19x8,5 and 19x9,5 offset 32 each)

can i go with adapter plates? they will be 15mm thick so the offsett would be quite aggressive -> 17mm. will it rub?

you just have to roll your fenders completely flat, run coils, remove fender tabs, and run 215/35 and 235/35 thats a 2mm difference from the rolling shot in my sig
