Ok so here is the question. I finally got a job making some more cash to start dumping into a build. Before I start a build thread and everything I am trying to do the finishing touches on research and planning. I have spent forever trying to understand the perfect formula for offsets, stretching, pulling, rolling, camber, etc... and my brain has officially turned to mush.... Here is the Rim specs I'm planning as far as size goes, but for offset and tire size i'm so lost it's pathetic. (I plan on rolling, running a stretch if needed, and running negative camber for an aggressive stance once it's slammed on coilovers).
XXR 530's (Temporary to dial in fitment perfectly and save for legit wheels)
19x8.75F (wanted 9.75 but they don't offer it for the 19's)
19x10.75R
For the love of all that is holy, will someone help me solve this damn puzzle before my head explodes.....

Have you tried googling? I did and found this really nice calculator. It will require you to enter your stock wheel/tire spec and current fender, suspension, and wheelwell clearance. Then enter your new wheel/tire size and it will tell you how much closer or farther your wheel/tire will be from the fender. You can also specify your drop and it will show you the result. It also provides plus sizing options.

I found a pretty good deal on some wheel in my area. They're 18x10" +25 all around.
Now normally I wouldn't think this is a problem with a fender roll, but these wheels already have 275/35/18's on them and I'm skeptical of the fitment in the front. Is it possible to fit in the front without major fender work, and more importantly, usable enough for daily driving? Any advice would be appreciated.
TL;DR - Will 275/35/18's be usable in the front without pulling the fender?

18x10 +25 tire options
I have some Cosmis MR7 18x10 +25 and BC Racing coilovers ready to slap on the SC400. Ive seen others here like CaptainDan fitting 245/40, I would like to try 255/40 or 275/35... any recommendations. Also being in socal is it realistic to get a max perf summer tire for year round or should i go for UHP all season?
Thanks CL!

Hello guys. I'm buying a new set of tires and I'm wanting to run a lower profile while sustaining daily drivability. I'm currently running a set of Nexen 245/35/20 all around on MSR 093 20x10 & 20x8.5. I believe they are 40 offset all around. Im also looking to minimize camber in the rear (because buying tires isn't cheap lol). also any guidance in spacers for a more flush appearance would be greatly appreciated. Im also lowered on a set of Tein Springs and KYB reds if thats important. Thanks in advance!
