at 295/30/19 with a 19x10 +30 rimI had to cut inner lip off rears but it doesnt rub and I didnt do any pull. I also sit pretty low and deal with a bumpy road in a slow manner everyday but its worth the look. Im running 235/35/19 of front on a 19x8.5 +34 and its close to flush other than the camber really. I have pics posted on forum just look through my posts. heres the rear.
What tire brand are you using?

Michelin pilot sports, This is a fat tire set up looks great from the rear not bad from the side as you can see. I am however very partial to the stretched rolled in tire look also. If i had another set of these rears I would do 265 or 275/30 and swap back in forth.

How so? Its the stretch/flush the only way that its suppose to go on these cars? I think the tire size is perfect. It may be a tad bit oversized for the size of the rim, but my 245 on a 10in wheel in the rear with a +20 offset will be upped to a 285 very soon.
The stance with a fat tire is awesome.

i was looking into some different wheels that are 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22, can i run a 245/35 and 275/35 if i shave the rear fenders?? The wheels also come in +30 offsets... would that be a safer bet?

my rears are +30 now and at 275/30 if its not dumped you dont need to shave fenders if it is maybe a little trim just have plenty of clearance for those driveways that are steep. 245's on front wont need much of anything at that offset but again depends on suspension.

my car is on tein cs with them set all the way down in front and maybe 2-3 threads from the bottom on the rear, so its not as low as some other folks cars. Just trying to decide what offset to go with at this point really. I found a good deal on some tires locally but they are in the 245/35 - 275/35 size.

benny this is rehman with the cinnabar red on the LM reps. saw you at my office building a few weeks back. i am on a +20 with 10in and a very very light roll. you will be fine with a +22 10.5 and a little more aggresive roll then what i had
i think a 265 will look perfect. a little stretch and enough meat to get around our crappy roads. i drive all around town about 100 miles a day and no issues.
i drive every day up and down harwin and no issues. just gotta drive a little slow

Ok, so the CL vendor i wanted to get the wheels from kept giving me the run around and i ended up getting something totally different.
I bought a set of Rays Arthur Exchange Style LK wheels in 19x8 +38 and 19x9 +42 offset. Im going to be running some spacers with them, but i dont know if i should run 15mm front/ 20mm rear OR 20mm front / 25mm rear. The 2nd choice would put me at 19x8 +18 and 19x9 +17 offset.... does anyone think i would run into any problems with rubbing with that setup? I already shaved my rear fenders in anticipation for the other set of wheels i was going to get, and my front fenders have a very slight roll to them already. I was thinking of running a 245/35R19 and 255/35R19 tire setup so i can stick to something close to what i have now with my 18s.
ps.. here is a pic of the wheels
I know the sizes are weak, but i got a pretty good deal on them, i guess if anything i could always go bigger later.
