Great... on an Acura TL or something FWD.

Fronts would have chunky tire and sunken in about an inch, rears not as bad - but still 'bad'

Size: 19x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 19 lbs

Rear
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 21 lbs

235/35 on an 8.5" wide wheel is fine, no stretch. Since those are staggered sizing, at least make sure you stagger the tire size too... like say, a 225/35 up front.

Ive had a few different options in my head but i think im gonna go for this
front 19x9.5 +22
rear 19x10.5 +22
on Stance GR+ coilovers
hows it gonna look? best tire size for minimal stretch?
and if anyone has a similar setup could they post a couple pictures?
Thanks!

My setup is pretty close to that: 19x.9.5" +24 up front and 19x10.5" +23 in the rear with Toyo proxes T1R's, 235/35 and 275/30 on Tein Flex coilovers. As for the stretch, if you want minimal I'd suggest 245/285 - but you won't be able to go as low without rubbing. As far as fender mods go, I had to roll and pull all four corners a little bit, but nothing drastic:

You don't have to PM me then post the same question in this thread dude.

And technically you can "unsunken it" with spacers, which IMO makes no sense. Why buy wheels that are the wrong fitment, then buy spacers to ghetto-correct that fitment, when the correct way is to buy wheels that have the correct width/offset for a RWD SC? not some FWD-offset wheel/tire package, which I see a lot of people asking about, probably to try to save some $, only to have to spend more $ by doing the spacer move.

19x8/19x8.5 225/40 sounds like Honda Accord/Acura TL fitment.

i think you meant "18x8.5"

it won't look the best, but it'll fit no mods.

do any of you guys know what rim size width and offset would sit flush at the fender without having to use spacers?
let's say 18 inch rims

18x9.5 +12 all around with 225/40/18 Advan A048 in front and 245/40/18 crappy Continentals in back. All fenders flat rolled, and bumps on the inside of the rear fenders hammered in, no pull.
