It will not look right without dropping it, it would sorta of look like a mexiflush. I also think you'd rub in some situations with those tires.

Those tires are way too wide. 225/40 and 255/40 Is the max tire you can run if that's what you're into. With those and a mild drop, you will need to roll your front and rear fenders.

+1 Yeah, the Advan's would look very out of place without AT LEAST a subtle drop. Maybe if the offest was a little more conservative you could get away with spacing to make the wheel flush with the fender. You'll have too much poke for the ride height, and it'll look like you are driving something ready to go mud boggin'!

the set comes with those, i figured i would have to sell the tires if i want them. a mild drop would be how much lower? wife would sometimes drive it so i wouldnt be able to slam it : ( is 225. 255/ 40s the best sizing?
those rim specs otherwise work?

I am running Advan's RS 19x9 +22 19x10 +25. You will not need spacers. They will poke a slight bit. You will definitely need fender work for wheels that aggressive. My tires are 215/35 and 235/35. I am fairly lowered though, at about 24.75" from ground to fender. I suggest lowering your car first, getting the proper fender work done, then getting the wheels. You will love the look.

im planning on getting different tires, with the size of your tires do you need fender work still?
where does one go to get fender work done? and what should i expect to pay?
thanks and yes. i love the way your ride looks!

With wheels that aggressive, it's also the rim itself coming in contact with the fender. I'm stretching tires, and I needed fender work anyways. If you're planning on running fatter tires (which it looks like you are), I would do fender work. Of course, this is all dependent on how low your car is. Better safe than sorry. You don't want those expensive Advans bumping up against your fenders.

Roll fenders and run OEM size tires, they will fit fine since you're not lowering it too much.
