Default Wheel fitment help

Hi all, looking for some wheel fitment advice. Wheels are used. Currently I have 3is350 RWD on air suspension. The wheels I'm looking to pick up are;
19x9 +47 (front)
19x10 +47 (rear)
Wheels do not come with tires. I'm thinking of running a 225 35 19 up front and 245 or 255 35 for the rear. I did a willtheyfit calculator the front looked okay, but I am unsure about he rear. Please see attached pics. TIA for your help!

My main concern is clearing the fenders when airing out or riding low. Not looking to do any fender work or camber adjustment.

Fronts
Rears

Honestly I think you will be fine in terms of fender rubbing.
The offsets are pretty large, so I'd be more worried about rubbing on the inside, or for the front, when at full lock.
Maybe do the 245 on the rear.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the advice! Yes I'm worried about the rubbing inside. Do you think I could pull this setup off? Or should I stay away?

The good news is that if there is rubbing on the inside, then you can add spacers to push the wheels out.
Depending on the design of the rims, you have to consider if the front will clear the massive 350 calipers...you might have to add a spacer whether you want to or not just to clear the brakes.

Couple of questions to ask yourself:
  • Are you getting a good deal on the wheels?
  • Are they what you want?
  • Are you ok with spacers?

Thanks Sasnuke! I've decided to pass on these wheels. I'm considering wheels from a friend that I test fitted. I need advice on the rear fitment if you don't mind checking out my new thread.
