^ I agree with you. I'm born and raised in NY. The roads here are very good (besides the valley & LA city areas). I have nothing to complain about.

Your car will easily be drivable with a 9.5 +25 - +27 w/ 245.35 & 10.5 +30 - +32 w/ 275.30 and still look damn good.

If I custom ordered a set of wheels I would go 9.5 +22 & 10.5 +30 ... That's prefect for my tastes.

Btw, felt under my front fenders today, my front tires are wearing away that notch on the plastic wheel well, maybe I won't event cut it and just let the tires do the job for me. Lmao.

Trust me....YOU CALI GUYS have NOTHING to complain about. The midwest roads from the winter freezes and the spring thaws, the roads are prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrretty freakin' bad. Right away in spring, you'll literally see holes in the roads 1ftx1ft and about 6" deep, and alllll the roads are cracked from the ground shifting. Its freakin' ridiculous, and you constainly have to be aware of where you're driving on the road. Not to mention the random bugs and deer that run across the roads....UGH!

I actually played around with a couple 5mm spacers last night which helped me confirm what I'll be doing. I'm ordered 5mm ichiba spacers all around. My stance will be 9.5 +30 and 10.5 +32

I know EXACTLY what notch you're speaking of in the front fender that holds the actual fender up. My front wheels are cambered in at -1.8 so I JUST miss that notch at +30 offset, and I have my front so low that my tires tuck up inside my wheelwell which limit to how far i can put the wheels out without rubbing when I turn my wheels. The front raises just enough when you turn the wheels for me to clear right now..

Thanks for all the input and feedback.

I'm surprised that you're only rubbing on the plastic. Last time I tried 9.5 +22 with 245/35/20 Nexen N3000 I managed to rub paint off the actual fender going up a decently steep driveway. It might be due to Nexen tires having a bulkier tire profile.
