Is this offset and tire size doable?
Planning to buy 19" set
19x8.5 +30 F w/ 235 or 245/35/19
19x9.5 +35 R w/ 265 or 275/35/19
I will plan to drop the car...but not slamming rather just to get rid of the gap.
I saw this wheel offset on another member's car, look real flushed but I'm not sure about my usage of tires. I want FAT A$$ tires not rubber band.
Pls tell me if this setup will rub and will I need to roll the fenders.
MANY THANKS....

235 in the front should be fine.
265 in the back should be fine too, not sure on the 275.
what drop are you planning on running?
I have 245/35/19 +30 offset on my rears slammed on tanabe coils and it doesn't rub nor did I roll my fenders. Im not sure if I can put a single passenger in my car yet without rubbing though haha.

you can prolly go 235/35/19 in the front and not have to roll your fenders. it shouldnt rub either. I am running 215/35/19 +32 in the fronts and have enough gap for a bigger tire. i have 265/35/19 +35 in the rears and there is barely a gap with the tein s tech springs. hope this helps.

I had 235/35 in the front and rubbed slightly (nothing major) with s-techs. However, if you decide to dump the car, you may experience some more severe rubbing, especially while going up a driveway with your wheels turned (others have the same issue). I switched to 225/35 when I switched to coilovers and reduced the rubbing (still rubs, but manageable). It all depends on how low you want to go. As for the rears, I am running 265/30 and it's a perfect fit (roughly 1.5 mm fender clearance) IMO. BTW, my wheels are the FiveAxis wheels which I believe you are considering?

go with 245 front and 275 in the rear. Fat tires for the win
You can make both of these work many on here have done it. plan to shave or roll the rears and a little heat and mold of the plastic liner up front.
