Default Widest rims you can fit in rears without rolling?

I've searched but can't find a clear cut answer

Im looking for the absolute widest 19" rims I can fit in the rears before I'd have to roll the fenders or do any modifications...I'll be running F-sport shocks and springs. Is it possible to get 10.5's in the back with a higher offset and not roll the fenders?

I'd like to have 275/30 or 285/30 tires in the back, love the look of wide rims and tires in the back

Is that possible on a small drop such as the F sport suspension, or would I have to settle for 9.5"?

Thanks

well I got to see IS350 dropped on the Fsport springs and shocks and its sits the same as mine with the TeinS springs....If its not the same drop it sure does look like it. The member Vikdiddy is on his OEM.

If you are going to push a 285 you are going to be doing fender mods. 275/30 is possible with out fender mods. I am no expert on this but I do know that a 19x10 +38 rear with 275/30 does not require fender mod. You may have slight rub with this set up but nothing that would hurt anything and only on extreme occasions. I have 275/35 and I had to roll the fenders back. I also had to shave a part of a bracket off. Looks good IMO and I am with in OEM spec. Car takes off nice and clean and handles good also. I have my set up in the wheel thread and a few other places.

JavyLSU (Javier) is a good person to ask for help. PM him and I am sure he can lead you in the right direction.

Good luck

Yeah that's what im trying to find out, what kind of offset am I looking at for a 10.5" wide rim if i don't want to roll, 45+ and up?

Im trying to avoid doing any major modifications which is why im not lowering it too much, and I don't want to have to stretch the tires to make it work, not really into that look

like a 10.5" with a 42+ offset and a 285/30/20 with a slight drop should be fine
