Another questions is any of you members have issues with AWD binding at full lock with larger or staggered wheels?

Thanks!
You can run either of those setups. I would go with the 8.5 all around so it will be less sunken in though. Or you could just run the staggered set, just have to pick out the right tire sizes.

You wont have any problems with full lock with those sets of wheels.

Default about to order wheels :)
Hey guys, I'm about to order some LC818's and I was wondering:

The wheel specs are 19x8.5 and 19x10 +30F and +38R. I know I'm going to run one of these tire set ups:

225/35/19 and 265/35/19

235/35/19 and 265/35/19

235/35/19 and 275/35/19

My question is, given the offsets, how "flush" would I be? And more importantly, will I experience any rub? I'm prepared to heat gun my fender lining in. Can I push them far enough to prevent rub?

Also I will be lowered on BC coils when spring comes. Too cold to install them right now

Thanks!

Go with the 225-35/265-30 can't run 35series in the rear unless your going 235-35. Rubbing in the front depends how low you go. Bumper tabs and front lining will rub it your slammed.

Should be 30 series to stay in spec for AWD, not 35.

225-40-18 will work the best , weak off set = no fender mod

Okay, so based on this info I should be fine rolling on 19x8.5 et 35 & 19x10 et 40 dropped on F-Sports with the above tire sizes? I don't want to mod my fenders in any way, but also don't want my rims to be too sunken in.

Thanks in advance!

Yes you can 235-35 or better yet 225-35 since your only 8" width
