so my wheels will be here wednesday. i’ve got camber arms and coils and these are my specs.
19x8.5 +30
19x9.5 +40
and i grabbed 15mm spacers all around because it sinks in too much for my liking. my question is 235/35r19 and 255/30r19 with a tad of negative camber for both the front and rear won’t present any issues right?

If you add 15mm spacers to those rim specs you're gonna have issues for sure...front and rear.
The rims are gonna be flush on their own, without the spacers.
235/35 is actually a bigger tire than 255/30...when you are talking about diameter and circumference.
If you're using a 235 on the front you want at least a 265 on the rear...and the 265 is still technically smaller, just not enough for you to notice.

With the 15mm spacers, the specs would essentially be:
19x8.5 +15
19x9.5 +25

Did you use the outmotoring.com mini cooper trim tape? Been thinking about doing that recently and your pics may have convinced me to pull the trigger. If so, Gen 1 or 2?

Those rims look sweeter than raspberry coulis; kids gonna try tasting them

I did the 350 brake upgrade and sent the calipers off to be powder coated.

So I came across an add a guy selling used Work Emotion CR-kai 18" wheels.
Specs
18x8.5/9,5J Off:+38/+30 offset all round

I'd like to keep my car as a proper daily and don't want rubbing or other issues. Planning on maybe later lowering her a bit. What do you think, will they fit nicely?
He's asking 1100 USD+shipping
USA - 360 USD

Australia - 500 USD
EU - 300 USD
Sounds like a reasonable price?

Are the rims specs this:

18x8.5 +38
18x9.5 +30

If so, the should be fine, but the rear is gonna stick out.
