How will that look? Slightly stretched?
Barely stretch. Actually 235 is the best match width recommended by Tires manufacturer to mount on 8.5 inches wheel.

and a 255 on a 9" width will look straight? or slightly stretched. These being more "show" wheels vs daily driving, I want the wheel fitment to look nice

It will look a straight square set up. Take a look at this:

not an aftermarket wheel question but is it possible to upsize the OEM tire size on the stock wheels. I know on a lot of other cars you can do this. Like on TSXs you can go from 215/50/17 to 225/45/17 on the same OEM wheels.

For instance maybe upsizing from 225/35 255/40 to 235/35 265/35 on the 2IS

front 19x9 with 235/35
rear 19x10.5 with 275/30

what kind of offset should i be doing for a flush look?
considering either forgestar f14 custom offset or wedssport sa-55m +38 front +24 rear

other info:
25" fender-ground all around (awd on coils)
natural camber (possible -1 to -1.5 after alignment) ... MIGHT consider camber arms front and rear
no fender mods but willing to roll

+28-+30 up front and ~+25 in the rear will be "flush." Ive noticed that a lot of people consider hellaflush to be the same as flush, so Im providing you with the real "flush" offsets.

You should be fine with that amount of camber. I have -1.5 up front and -2.5 in the rear and have not had tire wear issues. To be flush, you will need to roll the fenders and possibly relocate the front fender tabs. No pulling is necessary.

^Typo correction stock sizes are 225-40/18 (F) and 255-40/18 (R) I'm betting you could go with either 235-40/18 (F) + 265-40/18 (R), or 235-35/18 (F) + 265-35/18 (R). Depends on whether you want your new tires to be ~1/2" smaller diameter with 35 series tires, or ~3/8" bigger diameter with 40 series tires.

With all else being equal I doubt you will be able to tell any difference with either sized tire set, 10mm width isn't going to change much.

So the +38 in front for sa-55m would be a little tucked?
Yes I want an actual flush no poked/hellaflush/madcamber/etc.
Even rear need relocating tab?

So I am very uneducated when it comes to wheel fitment - have never had a set of aftermarket wheels before and definitely do not know enough about tire sizes/fitment and offsets to feel confident in purchasing wheels without some insight from the pros.

I am considering the new Ground Force GF07 Wheels


These wheels are brand new and will be custom offsets. The manufacturer recommended the following:

19x9.5 + 35
19x10.5 +40

Question:
If these recommended specs are OK - what size tires would you recommend?

Concerns:
From what I have seen, 9.5/10.5 seems a bit too wide/aggressive for no rubbing issues? Should I consider 19x9/10 or some other size?

Info on Car/Fender Work:
I am currently lowered on Megan EZ's at approximately 24.5" from ground to fender.

I don't mind rolling my fenders, but I do not want to run an aggressive stretch or pull/cut anything to make these wheels work. My 2IS is my daily driven vehicle and the roads around here are not too great.

I appreciate any advice... thanks in advance!

Im no expert, but your going to need to do some extreme fender mods. Roll, pull, shave, etc

They will fit sinec you are lowered already, all you would need to do is run a 245/35/19 front and a 265/35 rear which is a slight stretch but nothing crazy at all. it would be a flush fitment
