he wants something thats guaranteed to fit and not rub and is not willing to roll the fenders...
if he wanted something more aggressive and still didn't want to roll the fenders, I would tell him 18x9.5 rear, 18x8.5 front +35, with 265/35-18 on the rear, and 245/40-18 front
I don't exactly see you dishing out any "helpful" information...

he says he'd go to 275's personally (why recommend a narrower tire if the 315's fit ok), and he also says the fenders are cut and he will be rolling them...
that car is clearly not lowered, and thats what I base almost all of my fitment advice on, because if you put some weight in the back or lower the car, they will rub definitely... when I had 295's on my car and it was not lowered, they would rub when a 100 lb person would sit in the back, but only then... Then I lowered the car and there was no way in hell they fit so I went to 275's...
Then I took out some camber and now I plan on 285's... Eventually, I think with the correct offset, 295's might work, but it will be real real close, all of this on a lowered car without a stretched tire...

i guess you based your advice on stock fender well and non lowered cars.
plus i dont really carry people in the back seats, kinda like how supra owners dont have space for people in the back. others say they fit the 17x11.5 rear w/ bfg 315 and 18x10f w/ 285 so that was just my arguement. i really dont mind rolling my fenders. too bad ccw doesnt give out offsets.

+35 mm rear, and you will need to roll the fenders, +40 or higher, should fit ok, maybe mild roll...

I need help I am ordering my wheels tomorrow there 19x9 +25(front) and 19x10 +25(rear) or I can get 19x10 +25 all around. But i need to know what size tire to get and how much of a pull I will need, im guessing 3/4 of a inch pull? thanks

Thanks, I saw a black sc300 that had hre 19x10 all around with a 20ish offset And i think he had 235/35(f) and 245/35(r) so I should order these size tires? even though there 9 inches in the front or should I go 10" all around.
