need some info

If I don't sell my car, I will be dropping on Eibachs and putting some new wheels (Vossens) and tires on. What I've been trying to determine is what offset / wheel width / tire width is required so that there will be no rubbing onced dropped with proper alignment specs. I am going with 19's probably (but I dont think there are many options with Vossens). I'd like to go 245's front and 275's back, but I'm not sure if 9.5" or 10" inch width should be chosen so there is no rubbing in back, but I'd also like the tire at its outter most edge not to extend beyond the fender edge, and I'd be ok with it being a bit less. I think I'll go 9" on front and I don't think that should be a problem.

Eibach isn't a heavy drop man! I use to run that drop and trust me you won't rub. I prefer 20's but 19 will definitely not rub on our car with eibach. I believe vossen will do your offset for you. Go with a 10 in the back I have a 10 in the back right now in 20s and I'm really low and no rubbing.

You could do 10.5" in the rear with a stretched 275.. there might be a tiny bit of rubbing and inner wear with a little more agressive camber.. worse case scenario, you could roll the fender maybe if it was too close, but note that thats my view for the sedan.
