If anybody knows, what type of fender work will need to be done?

I kind of have some tire sizes in mind.
I was thinking 225 40 18 front and 255 40 18 rear. Any thoughts?

So nobody huh?
I was going to run these in the Varrstoen 1.1.1.

I'm looking at the Enkei NT03+M wheels in the 18x9.5 size front and rear (square set up). The wheels come in both +27 and +40 offsets, and I'd like both front and rear to have the same wheels and tires.

My car is at stock ride height right now and at most will be lowered 1"-1.5".

I'm looking to do minimal fender work.

My tire of preference is 245/40/18 front and rear.

1) What will be required to fit the 18x9.5 +27 with 245/40/18 tire front/rear?

2) Will the 18x9.5 +40 with 245/40/18 tire fit the front/rear without hitting the control arms?

3) Would you recommend the +27 or +40 from an ease of fitment perspective?

Thank you.

19x8.5 et35 is pretty flush in the front
19x9.5 et 38 flushes nicely the rear

Alright, so would simple heating and molding will do? or fender shave / roll etcetc?

Had new oem struts replaced recently would it give it some negative camber at all?

Thanks : )

Thoughts of running a squared setup 19x10 all around 3" lip?
Thinking about buying a set but wouldn't it look weird having the same size lip all around?

yes, same lip all around would look weird. You'd typically want your deeper lip in the rear as most 'sportier' staggered setups use a lower offset in the front to clear BBK's.

Tirewise I don't see any issues, the 10" rim is a bit wide but with a 30mm offset that pushes it out 15-20mm further than the stock rim, should be enough to clear. Just be wary of those bridgestone RE050 if you're trying to get a stretch on the sidewall at all, they're notoriously stiff tires.
