You should be able to fit a 245/35 tire for the rears if you fully roll or shave your rears. Heres mines when I was on Espiler ASD's

19x9.5 +22 Kumho Ecsta SPT's 245/35


For the fronts you can probably run a 235/35

My old Work Eurolines were almost identical to that sizing(18x8/9 +37) and i ran a 235/40 front and 255/35 rear. Was dropped on cut eibachs with no fender mods and it it only rubbed the rear fender liner when I had 4 people in the car. Looked like this-

K guys, need your help!
I'm looking at a set of GT-C's for sale on another forum. Theyre 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 (+38f, +22r). Tires are 235f and 285r.

Will these fit the SC? Will it require any fender mods? (I'm guessing yes..) Planning to eventually lower on BC BR coils, not looking for it to be slammed.
If everything checks out and theyll fit my car I'm hoping to buy them asap!

^ do you think I'd be able to get away without doing it? Should I expect a lot of rubbing? Or just a bit?

Its all about the 285. If you put a 265 or 255 like i have you should be ok. The pics i have are 18 x 10.5 +12 in the rear and 8 x 9.5 +12 in the front. and dont be hesitant on rolling the fendor. I have used anything ROund that oyu can slip between the tire and well lip. then start Rolling it back by rolling the actuall bat or round thing against the fender lip you will know when it is bending cause it will freaking bend. Just dont go crazty like those guys who just throw a piece of pipe between the tire and lip and reverse to roll it. take your time and do it a little bit at a time. this is not a difficult project.

Well, I'd be taking it to a shop to do it, wouldnt try it myself at all. My plan was to avoid rolling the fenders all together. Maybe I'll try selling the 285's and buy 255's just to be sure..
Thanks for the info though! I'm gonna go make an offer on these and see what happens.
