Hey guys, I am considering some 19x10+22 Hi Disk (225/35/19) + 19x11+20 So Low Disk (245/35/19)

What do you guys think? I will be on factory air with data controller also...

Figure I will probably have to roll the rear fenders...are these fenders very brittle? I've rolled before on many cars, so I figure if I leave it out in Vegas 110+ degrees and still use a blow dryer, I should be fine with paint chips?

Figured I would post here instead of making a new thread. Gonna try to test fit them tomorrow

245 is a mean stretch. Gonna need some camber or a massive roll.

I found some Auto Couture Supreme (and Lock Smice) with 9Jx19 +23 (+28) Front, 10Jx19 +23 Rear

Would this fit with only roll or shave? Or is it to agressive?

Ill take pics when i try them on. I had 225/35 on a 9.5 and got used to the stretch. Im sure a 245/35 on an 11 will be similar. Just wondering what it will look like stock height, since my controller isn't here yet from Japan

I have 225/35/20 on a 9.5 and 245/35/20 on 10.5 and when I hit 60 my fenders sat on my tire. So yes fender work is required for me, lol

So i tried them on...and bought them!

Im taking a risk buying them before the datacotroller gets here, but it looks like when i drop it, the fender should meet with the wheel.

Ill def need a roll and maybe a slight pull with the fender roller to sit perfect, so hopefully next week!
