Would love to avoid fender mods and stretched tires, but not sure if it's possible...
I would rather roll fender than stretch tire. What would be some good sizes?
Lowered about 2 inches.
F 19x8.5 +17
R 19x10 +22

I am rebarreling some 18" rims I got and for the rear I wanted to go with a 11" wide rim in the back. I wanna stay stock body and I have no objection to rolling and a slight pulling. Do you guys have any insight on what offset and tire size to go with?
I was thinking to make it with an offset of about +30 and use a or 265/35 or a 255/40

Depends on how you want it to look and how low you are going but +25 is probably safe you will be happier with a little wider wheel and narrower tire if you fendors arnt rolled. I have +12 and they Stick out a bit but i also have a set of XXR's +25 18 x 10 that i think would be Flush with the Stance coilovers and A little Lower.

18 x 10.5 +12 Rear 265 40
Rolled to the full effect and Pulled just ever so slightly. I will get it lower and we will see where it sits when i slam it to the ground. I think i will get a little rub action but not a lot.
The XXr's are 18 X 10 all the way around +25

what do you guys think about this setup http://www.cruizinconceptswholesale....MBO-BLACKH9404
My buddy got a set for 300$
Here they are about a month ago before mine went in for paint. I think you should choose something else.
Look at the Shelby GT500 Wheels They are sick... there used to be a guy selling some in the Tire and wheel section. I almost bought them

How well do the fronts fit? I was looking at the lips Im getting and my wheels look like they're gonna turn out to be 18x9.5+19ish in the front and 18x10.5+19ish in the rears so I'll have a very very similar setup to yours

CL Member Name: nysupraman
Rim Brand and Type: Hp Evo's in hypersilver
Rim Size f/r: 18 x 8s all around
Rim Offset f/r: +38 all around
Tire Size f/r: 235/40/18s (need some 245s possibly upfront and 265s out back)
Suspension Setup: Espelir ASD springs with Tokico blues
Fender Modifications: Need it to be shaved or rolled, it rubs on bumpy hard turns.
Any other comments: i would love to have it staggered, but i got a good deal, and at the time that's all my money could handle. i would also love to get some coilovers such as TEINs, also when money permits, i mean the espelir rides pretty good with tokicos for the amount of droppage, but lexus' spoiled me, i need stock ride.

Which off-set do you think would work better/safer without any rubbing. I want it to came as close to flush as it can, but a little tucked or little out is fine.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

They fit well but i think the wider offset helps with rubbing on the inside of the wheel well or on the lower controll arm. I will have some full actiuon drift footage posted soon so i willlet you know how wellthey tuck at Full Lock and Barried. I cant wait to get my HX35 on this thing and really Kill some tires.

If you can pm me more pics of you're setup and info on your suspension setup that would be awesome since my sizing is gonna be almost identical to yours.
