How would 18x9.5 +20 265 35 18 and 18x10 +35 295-305 30 18 fit on a stock body. Rolled fenders and one finger gap on drop not slammed. Feasible or too aggressive?

I think you fronts are gonna rub when you turn and compress them. The rear should be ok.

Would a higher offset reduce that or is it just the choice of tire size that would cause it?

Sup guys? I have a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, if I'm looking for a moderate stretch, will a 225 (or maybe 235)/35/19 for the fronts and 245/35/19 on the rear look good?

thanks.

Offset mainly.
I only have 8.5 up front and run 245/45/18 with a 30offset.
When I turn in to sections that slightly incline, it rubs due to compression. When I had my 38offset no problem though.
Going in a straightline I havent had any issues.
I am with you though, I dont stretch tires and tuck the wheel/tire combo way up in the well.

I measured my wheels from outside lip to outside lip it comes up 9.5" so this means i have a 8.5 wide wheel right? 225s should only be a slight stretch? I cant really run anything wider in the front atm will a shop even install a stretched tire?

19x9.5 +35 front (fender rolled)
19x10.5 +35 rear (fender rolled)

Car is dropped down to a 1 finger gap.

I need tire sizes that fit without stretching. I want the sidewall to be flush with the wheel. Dont wanna hurt expensive rims with a exposed rim.

I'm looking at picking up a set of rims that are 18x8.5 +30 (f) and 18x10 +25.
99 SC3 with stock ride height. Don't plan on lowering my car anytime soon. Will the rims poke out in the rear with this offset or will it be relatively flush with the body? What size tires would work with this set up? Thanks for any help.

Basically almost what I am at. Pretty flush in the rear and close in the front also. I run 245/45/18 in front and 275/35/18 in rear. I am going to go 285/35/18 once the rears go away. I am sitting on Buddy Club Race Spec coilovers with about a finger gap all around.
18x8.5 front at +30
18x9.5 rear at +26.5

Thanks for the input. Now I just gotta get the funds for the wheels/tires.

I've always wondered how Super Advans looked on our cars. Your car looks great.
