Wheel experts questions
See a few of you guys with some aggressive wheels on air.
Anyone running a 19x9.5 +25 255/35/19 front, 19x10.5 +30 285/30/19 rear?
If so, how extensive was your fender modding? Will this Fitment be possible?
Any comments will be appreciated

There are several offsets calculator in the internet. Here is one of them: http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?whee...=30mm&scl=50mm
If you are not sure, try to call the wheel manufacture to help you out with the fitment.

I can tell you you are going to have to do quite a bit of modification to the rear with that offset and tire size, what are your suspension plans?
If you look at the back quarter panel, where the bumper meets the wheel well you will see the wheel arch curves in, to get this out (pulled) you have to fabricate something to bring the bumper out too.
The rears are aggressive, I am running 19x9.5 +34mm - 255/30/19 and I'm basically flush. You will be +17mm MORE than me, so you will 100% be way outside the fender.
The fronts are pretty aggressive as well, especially with a 255 on there. The front fenders are pretty "standard" as far as a roll/pull is concerned. I will be running a 19x8.5 +22 - 225/35/19 in the front and its about as flush as you can get really, your front face will be +10mm MORE than mine. It is going to be sticking out quite a bit.
Anything is possible as they say, its just how important it is to you to run that setup, maybe do a wide body if its that important to you but I say pick some different offsets but thats just me.

I'm on coils, plan to stay that way.
Current setup: OEM F Sport's with +25mm/+20mm spacers, Dropped pretty decently.
F sport wheel specs are 18x8 +45, 18x8.5 +50, which brings a grand total of 18x8+20, 18x8.5 +30.
I wish they made those specs on the wheels I want. If I can find a different setup, I wouldn't mind, but as far now, I have my eyes set on this... I find it quite hard to find a nice design for this car.
Did you mod your fenders at all?
I'm planning to either shave/ pull the fronts, and shave the rears and flaten/pull the curve out and relocate the fastening points.
Has anyone done something like this yet?

front tires are 225/35 rear are 235/35
having driven on these without camber arms you will hit the fender with your rear. youll need to pull a little but it shouldnt be to painful. the worst part is it might not line up with your rear bumper anymore.
your front with those tire sizes will most likely hit the bolt that connects the fender and bumper. but it all depends on how low the car will be.
