Can anyone help me please...

Will a 18x9.5 +30 front work with a 2" drop without fender mods?

Thanks

Looking for tires, I'm getting mix reviews about which size to get so I'm coming back here.
My car is currently SLAMMED, I'm tucking tire in front and back on OEM 18's. I recently purchased these rims

19x8.5 +17
19x9.5 +20

I've been told 215/35F and 235/35R

I've also been told to go with 225/35 and 245/35

Not sure which to go with. I've done every fender mod possible; deleted bumper tabs and zip tied, rolled all four corners and slight pull. Fender liner is still intact and I don't really care if I rub that, eventually it'll go away. Anybody got pics of the tire specs above showing the amount of stretch? Thats what I'm mainly concerned with between these two options.

what is the highest offset you can run with a 20x8.5 wheel, lowered on M&R springs, and no roll/pull? How about with just a front roll? Thanks

You can run the highest offset you want haha.. Better word is lowest you can run i take it. It also comes down to your tires size.

I did indeed mean lowest, lol. Last time i ran a 225/35/20 on a 20x8.5 wheel, I'm thinking either a 205/35/20 or 215/35/20 this time around

Looking for advice.. front wheels will be 18x9.5 +30. What would be the better tire to run, 235/40 or 245/40? I like the look of a meaty fitment so I'm leaning towards the 245, but I don't know how much work I'll have to do to get them to fit with minimal rubbing. I'm lowered to zero finger gap and will be installing SPC camber balljoints with the new wheels, so I should be able to +/- 1 degree of camber. I can roll if I have to as well.

Interested in a new set of wheels for my IS350 for a track only setup. 18X8.5 +35 all around. Plan to run a 235/40/18 and 245/40/18 setup. Possible a 245 up front if it will fit. Lowered to about a finger gap. Is the +35 a bit to aggressive of an offset? Don't care about looks but I can not have any rubbing.

Those rears are slightly aggresive.

Will it fit? Yes, you just will need to do some work to your fenders.
You'll need to roll front and rear with natural pull while on the roller in the rear. I would relocate fender tabs as well in order to be on the safe side.

Tire sizes I recommend would be something like 225/35/19 Front, 245/35/19 Rear. That's not too bad of a stretch and will help cause less rub and less work to do. You could do 235 in the front but then your rears will be much more stretched than the fronts.

Also, this is all under the assumption that you're on coilovers, and only have natural camber no camber arms creating more negative stance.

Whats the best tire size for:

19x8.5 +32 front

I'm not looking to slamm my car but will be going with 1.5 - 2 finger gap.
