when did good wheel fitment become rice? imo ideal fitment in the rear would be 19x10.5 +22

Remember guys, I'm old skool. Class comes first for me. I think anything sticking out past the fenders is rice. That's just my opinion. No big deal.
Here's my old sc with 41 offset on 19x9.5. That's flush in my book.

What are the offsets? I dont see a problem with stock suspension... You can put more on stock suspension than a lowered suspension.

the strut tower shouldnt be in the way, but you have to roll/pull your fenders with your offset being low.

Yes, that set up won't produce rubbing with stock height.
The set up picture here is 245-40 and 275-35 and there was no rubbing because I had coilovers and could choose the right setting.

I think so. There's pulling/rolling involve.
