But im scared cause i dont want to go through the trouble of rolling my fenders and buying coilovers and have them still rub.

I didnt want the stretch look so i have 235/35/19 on my front (19x9) and 265/30/19 on the back (19x10) all with a +22 offset. What do you think? Could i clear?

or should i buy a new set of rims?
you dont need to buy another set of wheels. my next set of wheels will have offets in the mid/low teens. ie: +13 and +15.

your car rubs at stock height cause of the tire selection. with that kinda offset, you HAVE to stretch your tires and pretty much have to roll your fenders. the lower you dorp your car the more camber you'll have buts that the trade off of having low offset wheels.

with your wheel set up, u would have 215/35 front and 235/35 rear and dump it. it will sit more flush and most likley wont have fender rub. but on the other hand you WILL rub the inner plastic liner.

if you got anymore questions, PM me

ill trade you my 350 for you F. hahaha

i think you should go with 9.5 in front so you can get more tire on the ground to have some control over the power of the F.
