I'm rolling on 18x10's rear with a 34 offset. No modification required.

If you have your fenders fully rolled you can pull that off quite easily if you run a stretched tire set-up...I'd say if you ran a 265 you'd be fine

Ok well, here...I'll try to put your mind at ease..

Here are some pics to use as reference (these are the Traffcstars off of TLW's car when had them on) Oh and by the way, it's the same offset you've been mentioning - 19 x 10.5 et +29

As you can see, the camber isn't all that bad. To tell you the truth it doesn't even looks like it's cambering.





Oh, and on that set-up he is running a 265 and he didn't have to flare/pull the fenders.
Yes, I know his car is a 2nd gen GS but it runs similar offsets to the first gen, although with a first gen GS you could gat a bit more aggressive in the front.
