wide wheels + low (read: aggressive) offsets = stretched tires + fender modifications.

no exceptions.

maybe. you'll definitely have to roll and pull the fenders - and not just a light pull, but a considerable pull.

you'll also have to run stretched sizes like steezy mentioned.

the +12 varrstoens are not made for the 2is. spending all that work to get a set of replica wheels onto a car and have it barely drivable... not worthwhile for a cool parking lot stance.

not as much fender work and tire stretching, but the difference between the two offsets (given same wheel diameter/width) is marginal.

You can get camber kit. But there goes your tires. I only shaved my rear and i clear 10.5 +10 with the megan camber arms. I suggest you get +22 all around.

I give all the credit to my tires. I've been comparing sidewalls and dunlop direzza gave me the most clearance

I apologize for my ignorance; I never have dabbled in wheel filament prior to now. I am having a local shop measure the caliper clearance and I will tell them to go with the listed offsets you mentioned for these wheels: http://www.lomaforged.com/alloy%20cu...heel%20rsr.htm

What tires would be best to order running with H&R Springs with this type of setup? (front = 19x8.5 +34, rear = 19x10+42)

Any fendor mods other then the heat gun?

Thank you again for your guidance!

but if given that those wheels will have caliper clearance with high (<40) and low (< 20) offsets, quickest and easiest way is to copy forgestar's specs for the 2is.

front = 19x8.5 +34, rear = 19x10+42. here's how it'll look:

front: 235/35-19 + heat gun the fender lining back. 225/35-19 you don't want to bother with the fender lining.

rear: 265/30-19 as-is, or alternatively, 275/30-19 + rolled rear fenders.

245/35-19 and 255/35-19 have taller sidewalls (vs. 265/30-19) but narrower treadwidth, meaning that the sidewalls won't be as upright.

you can try 265/35-19, but that may be TOO tall.
