im no expert on wheel fitment, or nearly as knowledgable as the other members on this thread, just my opinion.
Its been dropped 1" with Eibach Springs. Thanks.

Kumho 712 have a very square sidewall. The may be a bit wider as well than other 275's. I had some 275/30/19 Toyo T1S on 19x10 Roja wheels and they looked more stretched than yours.

265 or smaller would be a good idea.

Good luck man it will turn out nice!

19x9 +30 and 19x10.5 +29 wheels... what tire sizes would be optimal for no rubbing? i see cherplex has 275's with about the same offset and width.. would a 265 be fine? i want them to tuck in, but at the same time have a little protection for the wheel because houston roads arent rim friendly

225 and 245 would be nice. If you don't like much stretch than 235 and 255 will also be ok. Depends on which tire you choose and how low the car is though.

Could anyone tell me if these fit? They're Advan RC2 Bronze Wheels 18X8.5 5X114 +31. I love the look of them in bronze and silver, but I'm not sure of the bore since they're for EVO's and Skyline's. I've got a full Vertex Kit incl. the aero fenders. Thanks!!!

Those will fit but with a kit and aero fenders they might look smaller than they are. I would go for staggered 19's.

Yeah, I've thought about that. But, what is the ride difference between 18's and 19's. Also, I am lowered 1" with Eibach's and will I have any rubbing issues? Thanks!!!

Well, I'm OK with rolling the fenders, just don't want to pull them.
I've got 1 finger between rim and body, both front and rear.
Still think I can make the +25 17x8.5's work in the front and the +28 17x9.5's work in the rear?
While I want them to be flush, I would rather have them sit a little inside of the fender than for them to extend ANY past the fender.

Any recommendations on tire widths?
I'm thinking of going w/ Falken Azenis RT615 in the front and ST115 in the rear (the 1J eats tires when you get on it )

Thanks

i'd weed through this if i could, i generally search for as much as i can, but i need an answer fast.

curious what offsets to aim for in the front/rear to not need fender modding if i stretch the tires.
20X8.5 and 20X10

I would go for something in the low to mid 30's for the offsets
