I want to stay the same width, but increase the height of the sidewall so it fills in the wheel well just a little more. What size tire should I get?
205/50/17 hahahaha.... how rediculous. let me guess 17x7 +42offset. your wheels are probably ment for accords and preludes. if you want to stick with the same wheels i suggest 225/50 or maybe even 235/45

what spacers do you guys recommend to get a flush look for my wheel setup:
18x8.5 +41 with 225/40/18
18x9.5 +41 with 265/35/18

i will be rolling the fenders. just want an aggressive look don't like how my wheels are sunken in.

265/35-18 on a 9.5" wheel and a 15-20mm offset will rub even with rolled fenders, especially if the car is lowered at all...

for the poster:

here's 275/30-19 on 9.5" wheels and +35 offset... yours are 6 mm inset, they shouldn't look ~that~ sunken in...

what are your alignment settings - if they are hugely negative, then there is more room for a lower offset...

ouch, yah, huge difference that 6mm makes...

I would get an alignment done, then measure for a spacer... alignment will have a small affect on how much space you have for tire/wheel...

Rim Brand and Type: Works VS-XX
Rim Size f/r: 19x10.0(75mm lip) /19x11.5(112mm lip)
Rim Offset f/r: et21 r-disk/ et29 o-disk
Tire Size f/r: 245/35/19---285/30/19
Suspension Setup: Espelir ASD/Tokico
Comment On Ride: As stiff as it should be.
Fender Modifications: Fronts rolled/ Rear rolled pulled around 10mm
Any other comments: Fender rolling is easy so dont be scared of it and do your research dont believe just anybody. I see alot of advice being dispensed that is scaring people into buying weak offset wheels(Great offset and great tire size is possible)

I need some help with some wheels. They are 18x8.5 's all the way around with a 35 offset. Is that going to look goofy as hell. I can't find many pics in this thread with people on that offset and what tires they are using.
