Default Wheel/Tire question

I have searched 100 pages of the wheel thread and couldn't find my answers, also posted but the thread is sorta dead. I apologize for posting this here but I just want a response.

im looking to pick up these wheels:
19x10.5 +1 front
19x10.5 -12 rear
wrapped in 275/35 square set up

this will be on my RWD dropped on eibach pro kit (~1.2 inch drop)

wondering if I can run these wheels and tires with just cutting the fender lining and having a slight negative camber? I am mostly scared for the front. I have 225 tires now and i don't know how 275 will fit...

can someone one help me out please and chime in on this? Thanks so much guys

I am no expert. But im pretty sure that there is no way thats going to work. Do you have the clinched flares wide body? I just don’t expect that the front will pan out at all. 10.5 for the rear is still somewhat difficult to do with a stretched tire. Have you looked at the aggressive wheel thread. That’s your best shot.

thanks for the reply baugher, yeah I just checked out that thread and no one was running anything like these specs lol so I was concerned. Theres just a really good deal on a set of 3 piece wheels with tires and the last thing my car needs is a good set of wheels. Of course I can always have them rebarreled but I have no idea how much that will cost, need to call a wheel shop. Probably need to rebarrel the front to 19x9.5? That's another issue I have, don't really know how to calculate what I need lol

19x9.5 will be able to fit ok with fender mods and stretched tires.

You're not fitting those unless you get a serious fender pull/wide body job or running hella camber. Plus those offsets won't work at all. You're gonna have a serious poke issue.

You would need major fender work to make that fit and at least -12 camber. ha good luck

or you like that mexipoke style

to give you a perspective this is me trying to fit a 19x9+9 with only 225/35 tire
my fenders rolled,pulled,shaved,etc

I too wasn’t sure if it was a real question.

does not really take much research to figure out if this even comes close to fitting or not.
