How will this wheel setup look?
I found some wheels I might buy the dimensions are as follows:
Front: 19x8.5 +32
Rear: 19x9.5 +35
How will these fit my 94 SC300? Will they be flush or will I need spacers? What tire sizes do I need for this?
Will I need to roll my fenders? I am lowered on Tanabe NF210 springs/stock struts.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, they will be sunken. Since you're on springs and struts, you will want 25mm all around to for them to sit even with the fender line. You will never be "flush" because your spring and shock combo will not lower your car enough for the lip of your wheel to touch the fender.
Personally, who cares though. It's your car and if these wheels look great and make you happy, then drive with comfort. Tire sizes will depend on many factors including your horsepower goals, offset, and ride height. Check out the wheels and tires thread which is a sticky in the SC forums. Do a little searching for a few weeks and you'll find the answer.

I think you should always roll your fenders if you ever plan on having an aggressive look, you shouldn't have to worry about cutting up the sidewall of your tires ever. Anyway those should fit fine, probably gonna look a little sunk.

Well I had 19x8.5 +38 and 19x10 +42 about 2 years ago, and back then these were pretty flush with the fenders, I mean I know I'm not slammed being on Tanabe springs only, but I figure that these wheels might stick out a little more than my old wheels, being that these offsets I originally posted are a little lower, right? Or am I thinking about this the wrong way?

Great stuff guys, thanks for the fast replies! I am pretty focused on these wheels mainly because of the price I'm getting them for, but yeah, as long as they are close to my other setup I had before a few years ago, I'm sure I'll be happy with them. Glad to see no one was hating on them either lol! But now I need some recommendations on tire sizes. Do I need to stretch the tires and what sizes do I need exactly? I never understood how you calculate that when you find a set of wheels you like. Any insight? Thanks in advance.
