Stating the wheels specs here will help you get the answer you are looking for.
I can drop the car to the floor if the offsets fit, and there will be wheels that wont fit even on stock suspension.
BTW I have done nothing to my fenders except roll the rears

Depends on a variety of factors - wheel offset, wheel width, wheel diameter, tire size, etc

to run those widths with absolutely no fender work whatsoever, you'll need wheels with offsets in the high 30s.

that 235/40/19 will be too much tire for the front. you will need to roll the fender and go with 225/35/19

^Thanks. 35 front, 38 rear or 38f, 45r depending on the 2 wheels I'm looking at. Don't wanna go too aggressive.

both offsets will work and you can go with a 2" drop. I would go with the 35-38 instead of 38-45.
