thanks for the help koolcat. i think ill have to go with a staggered setup because i can put 19x9.5 in the front it has to be 19.8 or 8.5 (this is for not doing any mod to the front) i not really looking into fender rolling or/and pulling. now im looking into the wheels on 18/8 or 8.5 front and 18/9.5 i think 18s are better or are 19 good as well? ill be dropping my car later later so what would be a better setup? cant decide...

I mean it will all comes down to what offset your wheels are. Because when you lower your car later offset plays an important role. Search this thread for setup for your sizing and see what offset people run and if the rolled/pulled their fender or not. Also, personally I like 18s on stock body sc unless you are kitted than get 19s (Personal Preference). Also 19s tires are EXPENSIVE. So that's up to you buddy.

I think it should be fine. Check on there, there should be some other member running similar setup.

You won't have any issues if your fenders are flat and you run a stretched tire. I have 18x10 +25 on the rear of my car with a 275. my fenders aren't anywhere near flat and it fits. so if you run a 265 or skinnier in the rear, you're gold.

Thanks for answering. Would it be a massive amount of poke? Or just an inch or so? Again, thanks.

I am looking at a set of Linea Corse rims that are:

LC818 5X114.3 19x8.5F +30 73 Hub Bore
LC818 5x114.3 19x10R +38 73 Hub Bore
4 Concentric Hub Rings will be included 73>60.1

My question is I am not a fan of the stretched tire look at all...I am looking to run a square setup..

Would I be able to fit a 235/245 up front and a 265/75 out back....I am would not have a problem doing a roll and it will be setting on a pair BC coilover....

The bigger tires the better...

What do you guys think?

I would suggest a slight fender roll.
