Just picked up a nice pair of Iforged ASTRA's.
Wanted to know If these size tires would work and how much of a fender roll/cut, also what kind of camber am i talking about here? Also what kind of spacers would make it look really flush!
The SC will also be lowered on TIEN CST Coilovers.
Wheels :
F: 19x8 +32 with 245/35 tires
R: 19x10 +43 with either 285 or 295/30 tires
Im pretty sure that I have to roll/cut the fenders but how is this setup? I just want as much tire on the ground as possible. Turbo + small tires = smoke/lose
Thanks again for the input guys!

Wow, what a mission to read through this thread!!! Ok I have a question for you people in the know
I'm on a serious budget for some wheels and I have found a few on e-bay that I like the look of.
here are the specs:
STYLE - ST-8 HYPER MESH II
SIZE - 19x8.5
BOLT PATTERN - 5x114.3
OFFSET - 45MM
FINISH - CHROME
LIP SIZE - HUGE 2"
and....
STYLE - ST-7 HYPER MESH
SIZE - 19X8.5 FRONT 19X9.5 REAR
BOLT PATTERN - 5x114.3
OFFSET - 32MM FRONT 35MM REAR
FINISH - CHROME
LIP SIZE - HUGE 2" FRONT 3" REAR
The question I have is which one will give me more of the flush look where the wheel and fender are flush? This is my daily driver, I love the car and want it to look nice and clean. I will lower it a bit but don't want to slam it nor do i want to do any fender or camber modifications... Just lower, flush, conservative and clean.... !!!!
any constructive advice would be helpful
Thank you

Hacked CL to become a Mod
that will be sunken...40 offsets are not that great for our car. 18s are the best for performance

Thanks Kaydee... Okay, so if i go with these sizes how low should I drop the car If I want it to look good but not extreme (I want to be able to drive over speed bumps and such; daily driver)?
what sized tires? Keeping in mind that I don't want to have to roll my fenders (though I don't really know what tat is I just want to keep the body looking clean and stock)
If these wont be flush what size will be flush without rolling, with a small drop (1-2 ")?
SIZE - 19X8.5 FRONT 19X9.5 REAR
OFFSET - 32MM FRONT 35MM REAR
LIP SIZE - HUGE 2" FRONT 3" REAR
So these rims will bring the wheels more in-line with the fender right? Thanks so much in advance this stuff is all very new to me but I'm trying to learn instead of letting someone else do all the work for me...
