I'm planning on buying some wheels for my car but want to make sure the sizes I want will fit and if there is anything i need to do to my fenders.
I want to get..F:19x8.5 with 235/35's & R:19x11 with 295/30's. What will I have to do to my fenders and what offsets should I get? thanks for any help

front and back i am thinking about buying
konig runaway
18x9 30+ offset
Whats a good tire size? I dont really want the stretched unless it will allow me to do (at the most) shave my fenders and get away with these wheels.
also will be buying lowering springs. either eibach or espelir from vividracing
will these fit without doing anything to my fenders?
thanks sorry if this has come up somewhere in the 200 page thread. i couldnt find it i went from 1 to 62 with a headache!

^, I would suggest running at least 245/35's, even these will have a slight stretch. My front fenders are still factory with a 29 effective offset, lowered to near no finger gap and a bit of camber.
You should be fine without shaving or rolling the fenders in the rear with a 30 offset.

^thank you very much kind sir! if i run the 245 front and back will that be fine? (i like a more meaty tire look) also will those springs drop the car enough you think?
eventually i will go staggered but i need to save for a full body lip and some coilovers before i buy something that expensive. (and practically restore the interior and paint)

That would be no problem at all, these cars came factory with the same size on all four corners. Even better if you can get non-directional tires, that way you can easily rotate your tires.
A lot of people are using Supra spring and strut combos to get the most drop without going coilovers. Note, you cannot intermix Supra springs and struts with the SC. They must be from the same car. Supra spring, Supra strut; SC spring, SC strut.

^you are a very informative man. thank you again!
so 18x9 30+ offset will be flush? i want a bit of natural camber to happen in the rear.... picking rim/tire sizes is pretty hard haha

i knew they were Volks, wondering what the exact size and offset is, as well as tire size, and what fender mods were done. i am planning on ordering some wheels and tire this weekend and trying to figure out what wheel specs and tire sizes i need to order.

Technically you don't have to know the exact specs on these wheels. All you need to know is the diameter and width of the wheels you want to buy. From there you can compare those specs with others that have been listed on this thread and figure your tire sizes. They may not be identical from manufacturer to manufacturer but should not vary too significantly.

I am planning on running 20x9 with a 40 offset 245/30/20 and 20x10 with a 42 offset 305/25/20 .. Right now my suspension is bone stock... I know I'm gonna have to roll/shave .. Anyone care to chime in??
