Honestly, it's your car so you should do whatever the hell you want. No one should care about your personal offset except for you. I've seen high offsets with meaty tires that look killer. I've seen negative offsets that look plain stupid. Just install what's practical to your lifestyle. If you're planning on driving 20k+ miles a year with super negative offset wheels, you're gonna break or wear some costly suspension parts down the road.

It depends, do you want traction? Do you value normal tread wear? You can easily fit a 295+ on a 10.5" tire with the correct offsets. Or you can stretch a tiny set of 245s on them and run a lot of negative camber. It all boils down to what you want: traction and tire life, or.....something else.

IMO, it's up to you the driver/owner to decide how much rubbing, scraping, tire wear you can tolerate

I personally like the more aggressive look with big, wide tires. Being flush can look good and so can a little bit of poke. As long as your wheels are sticking five inches past the fenders, it should look good either way.

Depends on the person, its your car so what do you think looks best. Personally I run a stretched tire (225/40 on a 10" wide) and have the car slammed so that the fender lip is just about touching the lip of the wheel, so pretty much no poke but very low. Some cars have a lot of poke and have nice pulled fenders and look good too, just depends on the wheels and your tastes.

+0 is going to poke no matter what. So just do a good roll/pull front and rear.

ok a 10.5 +0 with a 245 up front, start jacking up your front fenders now, i would run like 225/35 on the front with that offset

I like Flushed more, Poke and stretched tires just seems dangerous to me.
