More wheel fitment again

I've been racking my brain trying to decide what size and offsets to get when ordering wheels (finally!)

I know the topic has been discussed many times over, and I've looked through a lot of what has been posted on the forums as far as widths and offsets other members have went with but am still having a tough time coming to a decision. Here is my criteria:

My car is lowered on coilovers currently -1" front and -.5" rear. I'm happy with this setup, but of course can adjust if necessary. I'm obviously trying to avoid any rubbing issues and am not looking for a very aggressive fitment, just a bit more than 2010 stock on the 245/275 combo. I'll roll the rear fenders, but I'd like to avoid any additional suspension work.

I can get 19x9 & 19x10 in whatever offsets and am currently looking at:
front 19x9 +38 255/40r19
rear 19x10 +45 285/30r19 (or 295 if possible)
PSS or maybe S04.

I also possibly have the option to purchase a used set of the same wheels I am interested in at 19x9 +35 and 19x11 +55. I'm just concerned the rear is too aggressive here without either fender shaving or camber adjustment.

So what do you guys think? Is this suitable for what I am looking for or should I make some adjustments? Should I consider the used set?

With my 19x10.5 +45 lowered on Tein springs & oem size tire (255/35), I can't pass a finger between my fender and my tire (not rolled and 0 camber ajustement). Even if I roll the fender, I'm scared that the 275/30 PSS I just bought will not fit without a pull. I only rub a little with 2 passengers in the back seats on big bumps.
I think I will sold my 275 PSS to buy the OEM size one.

Hope it can help you a little more !

With the 19x9 +30s (F) and 19x10 +50s (r), you won't have trouble with the clearance. The might be some rubbing depending on tires, but if you're going for 30 sidewall on the rear, I'd go 35 not 40 up front. Some prefer 285/30 in the rear just so that you don't have to deal with rubbing.

I think you could get away with the 19x11 +55 with a roll and the slight drop that you have. The PSS is the better tire choice but they run beefy compared to other tires in the same size.
I have 19x11 +55 with a 305/30-19 PSS. On the stock suspension with the fenders rolled and the tabs ground it didn't rub bad. I think I would have been good with a 295. It got worse once I tried to take all of the wheel well gap out with my coil overs and then I did the toe and lower arms to fix it.

Here are a few of my setups to give you an idea of what differant wheels look like.

BCR 19x11 +55 with PSS 305/30-19 (The first 305 setup on an ISF)

Yokohama AVS 18x91/2 +40 BFG drag radial 275/30-18

Volk GTS 19x9.5 +37 Nitto NT05 275/30-19

These are all with no changes to my current suspension settings. It's pretty obvious how much beefier the 305/30-19 PSS is.

Thanks guys. I actually meant 255/35 front not 255/40. I still don't know what I want to do though lol

RCB, your setup makes me want to go for the 19x11s even if I wouldn't be running 305s.
