from my understanding you gotta go with the same specs all around so try something along the lines of 9" +35 wrap them in a 235 and a 35 series and you should be good to go

235 and 265/275 will give you almost no stretch at all so you gonna want to go with +35 in the front and +40ish rear. not quite sure because all the different set-ups ive tried were mild to extremely aggressive

19x8.5 +35 and 19x10 +42. tire size would be 235/35 front and 275/35 rear

that would be a safe moderate set up. even with lowering springs you probably will not need to do any fender modification.

so sticking with 35 series front and rear is fine? why are people doing 30 series in the rear? would those offsets and tire size be cool with me slamming my ride?ima probably be tucking at least half the tire..maybe resting rim

some people run a 30 series in the rear because they do not want to rub. again this is all factors of ride height and offset.

you should be fine if you plan on a simple drop, ie: eibach pro kit. but like you said you plan on slamming it, i would go with a little stretch or doing some fender mods. maybe even go with a 225/35 front and a 255/35 or 265/30 rear

offsets, wheel size and tire size is almost a science, first chose a wheel style, find out was sizes they offer, chose the size you want, then offsets is most important. from there you decided if you want to go conservative or aggressive. i would not buy tires until i mount the wheel on the car and see how much clearance you have. once thats done, calculate your tire size factoring in you much of a drop your going to do.

You can't do it, it is not a German car. These Jap cars just don't allow for that aggressive of an offset without MAJOR rubbing. Trust me I know, I rubbed big holes in each of my fender wells with 19x8.5 et 35mm offset and 235/35 tires.

dont slam your car. thats my suggestion. but if you plan on lowering it, 215/35 would be best.
