Back will fit for sure. Remember, if you stretch a tire, you will expose more fender gap and risk bending your rim.

i would also say it depends on your drop. if you are tucked, i can't see how you would fit anything under a +35. However, a tuck and roll with a baseball bat will get you a lot of room.

I rub just a little bit with a 10" and a 35+. Get an eastwood fender roller and you'll have no worries. My buddy has one just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Just to clarify for reference. I am currently running 19x9.5 +35 in the Front and 19x10 +20 in the rear.

My rears were rolled/pulled and fronts are stock fenders.

If I really wanted to push the envelope, I could do +30 in the front( i have tried with spacers and I love the look but didn't do it because the wheel studs are shorter with the risk of hitting my fender).

I used to run +15 in the rear with my old set and could even do +10 to get crazy.

It will fit, but stick out alot. The reason why people with air get extremely low offsets is because of the end product. The car will be slammed to the ground and the rims get cambered in really close to the fender. For someone with no drop or a conservative 1 inch drop, the wheels will not camber and will stick out past the fender.

If the offsets are high, in which you in your circumstances, you would want since you don't want the wheel past the fender because of the 1 inch drop.

If the offsets are low, it will stick out for sure because of the 1 inch drop. If you had a drop of 2-3 inches, it would camber.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the VIP slam it to the ground movement. Mine is riding on Intrax springs and my wheels are flush at 34 and 35 offsets.
