Question What do you think of this wheel size setup ?

Thinking of getting some rims and in the wheel I want I have a few choices -

19x9.5 with +35 and +45 avail.
19x8.5 with +35 and +45 avail.

I was thinking the 9.5's in the rear with +35 and perhaps the 9.5 in front with +45. Or do you guys think I should run the 8.5 with +35 in front ?.

For tires I was planning 285/30/19 rear and 245/35/19 front.

I don't want to have to fold/shave any fenders. Plan to drop the car maybe 1-2".

Do you think 9.5 +35 is too much for the front ?. Would it possbily rub on turns inside ?. Thanks!

19x8.5 +35 front 235-35-19
19x9.5 +35 rear 275-30-19

That's what I would recommend. I'm running those widths and tire sizes front/rear, but my offset is +29 front/rear. All 4 fenders have been rolled. The rear does not rub at all, and the front rubs a little bit (cuz my car is slammed).

Hi Blk97SC300, thanks for the info. If you hadn't rolled the rear fenders do you think it would have rubbed ?.
