Can you take side profile pictures? I would like to see how your wheels look in terms of distance between lip and fender.

Are you sure that's a 10.5" wide rear wheel? LOL, looks like a 8.5" wide wheel if you ask me.

*edit* thanks for fixing your previous post drewefx.

this is the only side shot i have.
they are 'sunken in' since they're very conservative offsets. but i can tuck some tire, fairly well, being on 245s/275s w/out rubbing. i didnt want to run stretch.

i swear ive posted this kind of stuff before, but it definately helps people. i remember before buying my rims the number of pics i looked at, esp the aggressive fitment on 2gs thread! to be totally honest though, you can NEVER nail it perfect 1st time i dont think. it takes time to decide how much camber/tyre wear/tyre damage risk/wheel risk/ride quality/ride height/guard work etc etc !

Tyre brand also makes a difference in terms of amount of stretch...and also Disk Size makes a difference in terms of brake clearance and the amount of dish you get...!

Anyway my setup

Wheel Make/Model: Work Varianza Schwert SC2 Step Lip
Wheel Size (F/R):19 x 9 / 19 x 10
Wheel Offset (F/R):+27 Lo Disk, +24 Low Disk
Tire Size (F/R):235/35/19 Nexen N300. 245/35/19 Nexen N3000
Ride height from middle fender (F/R) : F ~25", R ~24.75" (will be going lower on harder springs)
Suspension: Insurance Group coilovers 10k/6k springs (upgrading to 12k/8k)
Camber (F/R) : F ~ -2, R ~ -2.1
Toe (F/R) : in spec/neutral
Fender Mods: F = rolled 1/2 way flat. R = rolled 1/2 - 3/4 flat
Spacers: None at present.
Other Comments: Front tyres are a bit bulky, could do with 225/35 but didnt want too much stretch up front due to rough roads daily. Even though front is sunk, currently scrubs when turning up driveways due to the tyre width & the soft springs on the coilovers. Upgrading to 12k / 8k in order to stiffen it up a bit for giong up bumps and driveways (should help lift car and not allow wheel to compress and hit fender). That said, may also get fronts rolled flatter (no dimpling is evident up front at this stage).

EDIT: On some pics at the front it looks quite high, but my driveway slopes downwards. You cant actually get a finger under the guard front or rear. the front is just tucking the top 5mm or so of tread side on.
