Default Front Wheel Fitment Help Please

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you could tell me if this setup would work for the front on my 06 is250 with a mild drop (about 2 finger gap in the front) on my Megan ez coils. Sorry, I would post in the wheel fitment thread but over the course of 2 years I have done so many times and got 0 responses. Just wondering if I could get away with this front setup without fender mods or rubbing. According to the offset calculator I wil have 18 mm less inner clearance to the strut housing

19x9.5 +40. With. 235/35/19 or can change to a 225/35/19

Thanks in advance

Yeah, you can get away with nothing. Will be super sunk though. I would at least roll my fenders. Do a 225/35 if you want a slight baby stretch

Really? Crap maybe I did something wrong. When I input the stock with of 8" with a 45 offset it said 18 mm less clearance and it will protrude out another 20mm

The lower you go, the more sunk you get from natural camber so it kinda depends on your height. I'm doing about a 19x9.5 +8 right not with just fender roll and camber arm.

What do you guys do with the front fender lining? I have trouble with it rubbing on dips atm and don't really want to remove it.

Cut off the part that rubs with a scissor but don't cut it so much that it's hanging or else it gets super annoying bc whenever you angle up something, it'll pop off and you need to get out of your car to pop it back in cuz there's no spots to clip it
