285's will definitely not fit. I don't think 275 will either (might need some camber for 275s). Especially if you're not on air. You will probably have to shave the rears a bit and run either 255 or 245 in the back if you want those to fit. For the front, you'll need to go 225 and get your fenders rolled. The fronts will need more work than the rears to fit.
Depends on how much drop you got on those springs.
With those numbers....front will stick past fenders....unless you going for widebody look.....then you will need to mod your fenders.
Rear with 285 and possibly 275 will rub fenders....you need to buy tires that taper on the outside edge...to give a stretched look...and avoid rubbing. I like Dunlop Direzza Z101...they give that stretched look.
Hm....alright I may have dicked myself ha.. I got some 245/35/19s on the way already..but got them cheap enough I could sell them and not lose much if any at all..
I guess I should ask..what would be the best tires to run on front and rear?
I dont mind cutting/rolling/modding the inner/outer fenders. I have a friend who owns a body shop, so thats no biggie.
the 245/35/19s to small for the rear? What would be the "best" sizes" to put on the front and back? I am just not use to putting a 225 or smaller on a 9.5 inch rim ha..
So basically the only way to fit these is widening the fenders?
You can look into some combination of shaving fenders, running stretched tires, and some additional camber. The VIP guys would be a big help here. As far as my car, I am not into that scene so I don't have the experience to guide you. I know it won't fit with traditional, minimal work. There are guys who run even more aggressive specs so it can be done.

Any other suggestions would be great!
Keep the 245 and use them in the back and get 225/35 for the front, but you will still have to do all the fender work, mostly in the front.
However; you must follow the lowering rule, no gaps.

This might seem extreme to you, but if you want to fit those you will probably need 225 or 235 in the front, 235 or 245 in the rear and shaved fenders. They will fit well.

Very true rule. If you have stretched tires/agressive wheels and even the slightest gap, it'll look funny. You'll need to be tucked if you want to achieve the correct look. This is why I chose to stick with more conservative offsets, so I can run fatter tires to fill the wheelwell a bit better. It's not VIP or Executive styled but it works me for me because I drive my car daily.
I can handle cutting the fender lips, that's no biggie.
You wouldnt happen to have any bigger pics of your setup would you? I am new to this "big rim" thing, The only set of wheels I have ever bought were some 15 inch drag rims for my 94 supra lol.
