yes, very common setup around here, you will need narrowish tires, however - somethere in the 225/235 range front, and 255 or less in the rear...

How would a 18x9 +15 offset with a stretched 225 tire fit? Would I still have to roll it/pull? I'm looking into those Mb Motoring Weapons. Should I get a +24 offset for the front or will that be fine? Let me know thanks.

Got a question

19x10.5r. Offset of 10 or 30? Which would be the flushest where i do not have to camber much and stretch to fit.
19x9.5f. with a 35 offset. where would that place me on the front tire?

I'm ready to ditch my ghetto wheels and buy a new set of wheels for the spring.

I need help with fitment and i have some options as listed below. Can the wheel gurus help me with what I should choose?

Front:

18x8.5 +43 (high disc)
18x9.0 +24 / +35 / +44 (high disc)

Rear:
18x9.5 +30 / +43 (Standard disc)
18x10.0 +24 / +37 (Standard disc)

My car is lowered about 2.0" front and 1.7 rear, and I don't want stretched tires or fender modification. What fitment would you suggest?

no fender modification at all, 8.5, +43 front and 9.5, +43 rear

if you were willing to roll the fenders, I'd run 10's out back, +37 - it wouldn't take much to run them with like a 275/35-18, just a mild roll...

8.5's up front will be good, I run 255/35-18 and have no rubbing issues... out back though, 275/35-18 on 9.5" wheel and +43 should fit underneath the fenders with no mods whatsoever...

its as close as possible without fender mods... mine are pretty close to perfectly flush and are 9.5" +35 et... the problem is, this requires rolling the rear fenders...

Take a look at my car. I had extremely similar wheel goals to you. My offsets are very similar to those that you are looking at. Short of my deer assassination on I-127 this weekend in Lansing, I was really liking how my car was looking.

19x9+38f. w/245 wide tire
19x9.5+40r. w/275 wide tire

(excuse the after-effects of my run-in with Bambi)

My rear tire rubs on extreme occassions. The front tire does not rub at all. I am not dropped...yet. I am buying a fender roller for myself to allow me a drop.

Honestly, I would be willing to let you bum it off me for a roll if you needed it. I am in mid-michigan at least once a month for business. I am sure we could coordinate something.
