Default Wheel fit

Perhaps I missed it in my searches or I have been searching to much to realize I had the answer. Here is what I am planning on doing with rim sizes for my vehicle in the hopes of not having to shave anything. This is where I will need your advice.

Rims
Front: 19x8 +40 Rears: 19x9.5" +20

Tires
Front: 245/40 Rears: 275/35

I still am waiting on my Tanabe coils to come in to know so I can fit everything. I am going nuts trying to figure out what I will roll with this new year. Any help would be much appreciated.

Why is the rear much aggressive? It's gonna look weird. The fronts are stock offset, just that it's an inch taller. So you wouldn't need to do fender work.

It won't look weird at all, I just want a wide rear on the car for a aggressive look. I might tone it down a bit so I don't have to bother with modifying the fenders.

The rears, you are gonna need to shave the fenders and might even need to run smaller tires like 255.

Yeah, I figure regardless then I'll have to shave the rears. Not so hard to do as I got a place to do it with some power tools.

I'd still like to go as wide as possible in the rear.

the rear tire will fit with fender mods but i would suggest running 245-35 in the front. if you get a 40 series it will be about 1/2'' taller and will look lopsided imo. and depending on how low you go you will need a slight roll in the front. i am running 20x8.5 +3_? w/ 245-35f and 20x10 +40 w/275-35 and i have rolled rear and a slight roll in front. no rubbing what so ever, and i am on tanabe df210's with the sage rca's in the rear only.

Yeah, I was wondering about the SAGE setup if I can find it I would buy it. I also noticed I have gotten my math incorrect on the front wheel. Right now I am very torn with what rims to get because this will also change what tires I fit.

I am currently looking at some Rotiforms
