quick spec advice before I buy

Whats up everyone, im trying to get my exact specs picked out before I buy wheels and tires for next season. I drive an 07 x sedan dropped on bc coils. I am looking to run 19x9.5 +22 all around. My question is will I be able to run this setup without stretching tires allot? I would like the run a practical setup with no more than -2 camber all around and would like to have no gap or tuck a bit of tire. would 245/40/19 be a good size to go with? thanks for the advice. Let me also say That while im definitely going for aggressive, im not going for the poke/ hella flush look considering im in NY and have a driveway that is extremely unfriendly. By that I mean I already have to back in over my grass to get in.

I'm sure the offset gurus will chime soon. What wheels are you getting?

well since u are not staggering the fitment, you would need a 225/40 to fit those and those will be stretched. the front will also need negative camber, and the rears will probably be sunk a little. and dont go with Varrsteon, I have seen too many of their wheels break. You bought a sub 40k car, dont buy cheap rims and destroy ur car when the wheel breaks.

Agreed on the strech up front. It can be done without a doubt but that is pretty agressive for a sedan.

so if you think it makes more sense to have that stretch up front, should I just go with 10.5 +22 255/35/19 (rear) and 9.5+22 225/40/19 (front)

My car is AWD

255 on a 10.5 wheel is a lot of stretch, and u said u didn't want that.
And u also said u aren't staggering bc of AWD. So 255 rear and 225 front tires will not work. They need to be the same width.
Also, I'm n

they dont need to be the same width they need the same rolling diameter.. also i didnt say I wasnt going staggered because of all wheel drive. I wanted to stay square so I can rotate but if the back is not going to fit well then I might as well go staggered.. and 255 isnt that much stretch.

you'll be fine... i had 20x8.5 in the front w/ a 245/30/20 with a +15 offset and still had room for poke, rear was 20x10 and +20 offset w/ 245/30/20 and just barely poked out in the rear.
