Does anyone ride 21" wheels? Im not crazy about the diameter but really like an oem design that only comes in 21x9.5". Tires would be 275/30/21. +/- 10 mm width
Hey guys, can you please tell me if these wheels will fit on my completely stock car? I do not want to do any suspension or fender modifications at this moment.
Front: 19x9 45 offset
Rear: 19x9.5 52 offset
Probably wanting to run 245 35 19 all around if possible. Thanks in advance for your help!

The answer is maybe.
Your rim diameter and widths are OK and the offsets are in line.
Here is the potential interference area: The caliper.
Therefore, you need to understand the profile of the wheel spokes from the hub to the caliper. If you are going for that concave look, interference with the caliper is more likely.

Thanks for the reply! The wheels in question are OZ racing Leggera HLTs. They are not concave, the spokes are relatively flat. If the wheels do end up interfering with the callipers, would a spacer solve this issue? Would adding spacers cause interference with the fenders?

Those are nice wheels!
It looks like you should be OK without spacers, but that is an educated guess. I can't tell you for sure.
FWIW, I recently bought 18x9.5 Rosenstein Delta wheels, which have a similar 5-spoke design and they clear the calipers.
Another thing. You may be real close with the spindle on the front. My 18x9.5 wheels with a +38 offset clears the spindle by only about 3/16"-1/4". Your taller diameter wheels should help because there is a little extra clearance. This is because the spindle is moving away from the wheel as wheel diameter increases. It's possible a 3-5mm spacer will be necessary, which may also require you to get longer wheel studs.

Oh ok I see thanks! Do you think the extra width will interfere with the fenders if I use spacers? Or is this not a concern on suspension? Will the rear be ok? According to this offset app I'm using, it goes much deeper into the wheel well compared to stock.

So today I decided to use Meguiar’s Hot Rims Wheel & Tire Cleaner (the pink liquid bottle) to clean my wheels and tires. The bottle actually says specifically for OEM clear coated factory wheels.
I guess I thought my wheels were, but I done screwed myself over! Now they look horrendous. Most likely have to get my wheels repainted at a body shop. Any tips?

Yep, they will need to get refinished. A wheel shop can do this and fix your curb rash for the same price. A body shop, maybe.
