10" wide with +24 on a 245/35 tire you will have to shave the rear fenders, you could prob just get away with shaving the inner lip half way up to the rivits and be fine.

Check out [ant]'s ride he is running 19x9 +27 w Nexen 235/35 19x10 +24 245/35, contact him for fitment...

Yours will look like this, pretty sure he has his rear fenders shaved...

as above thats my ride, i have rolled rears about 1/2 way flat and fronts rolled about 1/2 way too.

to avoid that you could either go less offset, or more camber or stretch. im at -2.1 up back. its pretty easy to do though, id even like to go mroe aggressive haha

aint VIP if you dont cut your quarter panels. u gonna have to run like 4.5 degrees of camber to NOT cut your fenders.

i right now, have 4.5 degrees rear camber and 3.2 degrees front camber.
havent had time to cut and roll my fender lips and quarter lips yet.
although i am dumped right now on my coilovers

heres how mine is currently
