Thanks Mark.. Couldn't have done it without you... I was actually going to sell them and try to get something smaller with more spokes and in either regular silver or gold so they stand out a bit more and to run beffier tires but I can't find any good deals right now. I suprised how well the toyo's stick and the the overall weight is less than the 17"'s I used to have. - Bryan

Just wanted to double check with the other experts, yes I might be getting a new wheel setup, what I want is something flush with no need to stretch these are the specs I was looking at. Don't ask what type wheels either in time it they will be revealed he he anyway:
18x9 +29 w 245/40 BFG KDW's
18x11+49 w 285/35 BFG KDW's
18x9 +29 w 245/40 BFG KDW's
18x11+49 w 285/35 BFG KDW's

Another one for me guys
19x8.5 + 22 f 245/35/19
19x10.5 +22 r 275/30/19
The rears will be slightly more aggressive than the fronts. Im okay with this. Im just wondering how much camber im going to need to fit these?

There is no doubt that the front will work and look good. Up front, you had a very similar set up in the past on your RacingHarts.
I would push the rear further out, however. I am on a +35 offset (Supra TT Wheels spaced 15mm) with a 285 tire, and I avoid rubbing by 3-4mm with the factory alignment rods running the minimum camber possible.
On a +49 offset, you would have to run a 295-315 (and you could with such an offset) to make the tire flush up with the fender. From experience, with a 285 on a +49, the tire looks like it is swimming in the fender well.
Now, the BFG generally runs meaty as hell, but I would still run a slightly less positive offset in the rear...more on the magnitude of +35 like I am. I just checked on TireRack.com, and my 285/40 Kuhmo ASX have the same section width as the 285/35 BFG that you are proposing to use: 11.5in (which is meaty...more like 292mm).
Here are some photos for your comparison:
285 on stock +50 offset (notice the tire swimming in the fender well)
285 with a +15 spacer (notice the flushness with a little breathing room)
My sig has the 11.5" tires on a +35 offset in a linked photo as well.
In my opinion, if you go with a +49 (CCW Offsets), you have to go big or go home with the tires. But, to run a 285/35/18, I would run an offset that is ~12-15mm less positive to make the tire sit flush. Less offset often means more lip as well, which is never a bad thing.
