Default Quick Offset Question. Need help FAST!

OK CL members, I need a quick question answered. Will this rim setup work?

Front: 19x8.5 +13mm Offset
Rear: 19x10.5 +25mm Offset

If it does, can anyone recommend the proper tire sizes? I'm thinking 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 for the rear. Questions and comments are appreciated.

it'd be nicer if the rear was the one with +13mm offset. anyways, I say go 235 up front, and 255 or 265 in the back.

I thought that 35's in the front was for 20's. I have 245/35/20's in the front

Is the 235/35/19 good for the 8.5" rim? The +25mm offset for a 10.5" rim is OK for the rear wheel? I don't plan on dropping the car that much and don't want to rub. Is +13mm so that I would get a bigger lip if it was the rear wheel? Lastly, 255 or 265 on 10.5" rims? I was thinking 275 or 285. Sorry for the newbie type questions...

I was only using these tire sizes because I might be able to get some in these sizes for less than retail..

i c that you don't plan to really lower the car. your offsets should be nice, but you'd want a stretch on the tire if you don't want to rub or better yet have someone roll your fender too so when you have passengers or you go on a dip your free from rubbing issues.

just to let you know, if you're not dropping the car, its going to stick out like a roller skate/frogger look. I'd run a 225 up front, 255 out back.

Has anybody mentioned that there will be fender modification involved with these wheels specs?

245/35/XX are both tires specs for 19s and 20s (for the 2GS), thats the reason why 20s are an inch over the OEM tire diameter specs.

If you like the skateboard look and dont mind the fenders being torn off, yeah, they will fit...

That guy is running a 19x10 on the rear and had to roll and pull his fender, so as previously stated by V8 Aristo, you're gonna have to do fender mods.
Since you don't plan on lowering the car, i'm thinking you don't want to mod the fenders either correct??
If that's the case, I would pass on those wheel specs.
My .02 cents

So are you saying that the rims that I want to put on the car with the offsets of 19x8.5 +13 and 19x10.5 +25 are too aggressive of an offset for them to fit on the car? For these offsets, what tire sizes would be recommended? How much fender mod for slight lowering? (About an inch?)
