Hey guys, I'm in need of some advice. I know that a 19x9.5 & 10.5 with +22 would fit fine with a roll but was contemplating about going 19x10.5 +12 all round with with maybe some 235/30/19? Was thinking about shaving my fenders or do I need a roll and pull for these.

235's are pretty thin for a 10.5, unless you like the rubberband look.Also, A 10.5 +22 will need a roll and pull for sure... see post #4444.

I'm going to say sorry in advance if there is an answer to my question somewhere in this thread, but after looking through about half of the 317 pages of this I still haven't gotten an answer i'm happy with haha. I've got a 97, and the picture i'm going to attach from a few pages back is the exact look im going for, does anyone know the size/offset or any other info on this car? Mine is white as well and like i said this is exactly what i'm looking for as far as fitment, and even style of wheel??

Look like 19's, maybe 8.5/10.5 in the +30 range. A lot of those in this thread

Like I said, I looked a lot but didnt really come across a lot lol. Would a 18x8.5 18X10 +25 need any fender mods past a roll?

Probably not, maybe some mild camber depending on your ride height.

I am going for a square look (no lip sticking out/tires cover the whole wheel) on my wheels that will also clear my fenders by just rolling them.

My wheels are 18x9.5 F 18x10.5 R +30 all around.

Will 265/35 for the front and 275/35 have a square look, and will it clear front and back?

Does anyone suggest better tire sizes for the square look?

How do you guys think the 18x8.5 18X10 +25's would look on a stock suspension? I love the fitment that they get when the car is lowered, but i'm not ready to spend a bunch of money on coilovers just yet and i'm worried its going to look funny with that offset on stock alignment/camber/height? :/

* I was wondering how tire sizes with 255/35 front and 265/35 would look instead for my wheel sizes

JLam, that's gonna be a 1 cm tire width/bulge and 3mm difference in height. This will vary among between different tire brands. IMO, it all comes down to brand. Google images of 255/35 18x9.5 and 265/35 18x9.5 to see the slight size differences between different brands i.e some tires run wider/narrower than others i.e. federals run wide. Raines good with tires, maybe he can chime in
