roll the fronts for +25? would a +30 F be able to avoid doing so?

as for the rear, rear fenders are rolled, car sits at 25" ground to fender front and rear. it seems like the rear should be fine with +30, but would a +25 R require me to do a slight pull or shave?
anyone?? help? muchos gracias

for the fronts, you dont have to roll the fenders if you're going +30
however, you'll get a better fitment with +25 and rolled fenders!

for the rear, rolled fenders is sufficient but you have to run stretched tires: 245/35/19

the square set-up (19x8.5 +45 + 235/35-19) will fit without the need to modify your fenders. BBK clearance differs by manufacturer/wheel line, so you should probably check w/ forgestar to find out. however, don't expect this to be a flush set-up.

the staggered set-up (20x8.5 +32, 20x10.5+30) may require a roll in the rear, depending on tire size. given those you listed, you'll definitely need a roll in the rear - and you still may have clearance issues. this set is definitely more aggressive than the other set you listed, but you may need fender modifications and running narrower-sized tires to make this work.
with the square setup, well I be fine in the fronts with a 20mm spacer and 25 in rear?
Will the other setup, rub even at stock height?

with a change in tire size, you could. you'll definitely have to go w/ 225/35-19 or even 215/35-19 to make sure you have the proper amount of clearance.

with the staggered set-up, it's more so the tire than the wheel that'll cause clearance issues.

19x8.5+35 wheels all around. What would be the best tire size if i'm RWD and on a 2inch drop. Can i also run spacers in the rear since ? I was planning to have the front 245/35/19 just don't know what i should do with the rear tire size. I was thinking if its even possible to run a 25mm spacer in the rear so i can still have a staggered look to it. Can someone help me out?

With your setup, Front will be minor rub with Eibach. If you don't want to rub, choose 225/35/19 OR go with 19X8.5 +35 with 235/35/19

Rear tire choice might be too wide to use with that rim spec. You need 255/35/19 to clear rear fender, and its gonna be a very close call.

This close...http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/user...960/parts.aspx

This can give you an idea to play with wheel&tire spec combination.

This guy runs
19×8.5J+38
225/35-19

19×10J+38
255/35-19

I'm just going to ask since I'm starting to get a headache here reading so many pages.

I'm searching for a good wheel/offset and tire combo that will provide an aggressive look (close to flush, without tire stretch) without fender work, modifying the fender liners, or camber. I will hopefully being running coilovers with about a 1.5 finger gap for daily driving.

What offset and tires do you all recommend in a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 sized wheel? Thanks!
