Default quick help. I might buy some wheels when I drive down to NY. Fitment and tires?

I'm driving down to New York, and I might've found some wheels for a descent price for the meantime. I need quick input on if these should fit or require a lot of work?

I'm not sure about running a 285 in the back..

I'm pretty sure I'll have to roll / shave the fenders.. but as far as a pull is concerned, will it be necessary? The car will be dropped.

19 x 9.5 front 255/35/19 +30
19 x 10.5 rear 285/30/19 +24

The tires in the rear are worn out so I'll probably need to get new ones. Maybe something with a bit of stretch?

You're probably going to have to do a slight pull. Those are relatively fat tires

I'm looking at replacing the rear tires cause they're finished anyways. I might actually pick them up in New York also cause shipping over borders costs more $$..

I just need to know approx. sizes.

try a 235/35/19 for the front and a 255/35/19 for the rear. Shave the front and a slight pull in the rear
