I had to stretch a little to make things work, but does THICK = FAT?

Yeah I tried to fit the 275/35/19 in the rear but it the fenders were eating the tires even with -4.5 camber. I didn't want to pull the fenders so I decided to stretch instead. With the 245s I am getting away with -2.3 camber.

So the specs:
Before: 245/40-19x9.5 +40




After: 245/40-19x9.5 +35




Now I haven't drove the car with the spacers. I did turn the wheels right/left and inspected the inner wheelwell. Saw no issues of tires touching anything. Also even with the Swift springs I don't foresee any fender issues. I do want to run a 255/40 though. The 245's just look stretched on the 9.5" wide wheel. I'm curious if a 9.0 would've avoided the tire stretch. Lastly, need a front camber kit. I can see the front wheels cambered and I hate that. I much rather have a squared alignment. Gonna follow up with SPL on front camber arms.

So what have I learned.... I think the following is a perfect set-up for the rwd sedan;
Front: 255/40-19x9.5 +35 (possibly a 245/40-19x9.0 +35)
Rear: 285/35-19x10.5 +45

With your 9.5 +30 you'll be 10mm further out w/ the offset and another 12mm with the 1" wider rim, so 22mm out from where I am.
Here's a few pics for reference

I will soon be able to be a part of this thread because im almost done smoking out these 275's and already have 285's sitting in the garage ready to go. Hopefully they wont give me any fender clearance issues when I slap them on.

I tell everyone to shave the bumper bracket in the rear and shave the plastic hump on the front fender liner (just behind the headlights) but to honest I have done neither. I have rubbed in these areas on occasion but nothing bad enough to cause me to trim this stuff. I was on stock alignment for over a year until recently I took it to a shop and they just adjusted the rear by changing a bolt to give them more play to adjust. I don't know what the alignment specs are or I would post them. Here is a picture of the wheel compressed on a hill. As you can see it cambers in just fine with know issues. anyway if anyone has any questions or needs more pictures just PM me or post here I will be more than happy to help :P
