Default Wheel Size

Shouldn't be a problem. I'm running 19X9.5 25 offset, 225/35 with Tein flex all the way down, no rub, good to go. However, my fenders are rolled.

19x9 +19 in the front? You are not gonna make it on stock fenders.... Trim the inners....

i have 19x9 +27 with 235/35 and -2 camber. its fairly sunken. but i had -1 camber and it was almost flush and it rubbed at full lock up driveways sometimes. so i got the camber increased a bit so it tucks sort of out of the way. im on Insurance coilovers, 10k springs front, with about 100mm to the ground on stock bodywork. My guards are rolled a bit.

seriously though man, stock guards are half rolled anyway, and rolling them a bit more isnt that difficult. Where the paitn cracks, glue it down where you can and then touch it up with some sealer and touch up paint, thats what i did. Mine arent rolled flat, just an extra 50% or so over stock.

you could go down to a 225/35 for more stretch and thatd probably help too, but at the end of the day its pretty easy to roll guards, or even trim a bit off them
