Regarding filling the wheel wells, here is what I'm running and I'm pretty happy with my fitment.
19x8.5 all around (AWD)
+30mm offset all around
The fronts are pretty flush, with this offset, but honestly, they could be bumped out another 5mm or so. I'm still debating on putting on a spacer to fill out the fronts a little.
The rears I DID add 10mm spacers and honestly... lol, I could prolly go out to another 5mm or so. (I did a fender roll).

Anyway, so I would recomend going no lower then an 8.5" wide w/ 30mm offset for fronts... a 25mm offset would be absolutley PERFECT!
And I would go 8.5" wide with a 20mm offset in the rear... if you do a fender roll you could even go to a 15mm offset.

I'm running 235/35/19's all around. I may have went 245, but they didn't have the Potenza RE960's in that size.

what would the pros/cons be of jumping from a 235/35 to a 245/35?

I think it safe to say that the only thing making the AWD version sit higher than the RWD250 is the springs. Because it definitely lowered it enough... I used 2 Tein silencers per side in the rear to be safe. No noises, handles great, and still has a very nice ride. I cut the bump stops according the Eibach directions.

Hit me with suggestions on what wheels to upgrade to. Thanks.
good god lol I never realized how damn high our cars were stock lmao. That really does look like a 4x4. Drop looks good. I am lowered on Road Magnets but Coilovers are coming eventually.

Looks awesome! I'm going to do the same with mine.
Where did you get your Eibachs from? and What model to be exact? I wasn't aware that Eibachs made any lowering springs for the AWD.

Thanks!
