Pulling your fenders opens up a much wider range of setups, and no the bottom combo won't work, you don't want wider wheels in front w/ narrower tires. Also the tire combo won't work either, you'll want 245/35 front and 275/30 rear, or better yet a 245/35 and 285/30 for almost zero diameter variance.

He's running 20x10.5 +35 w/ 275/30/20s all around without pulling the fenders. The fit is tight but MylilG says there's no rubbing. Might shoot a PM to him for specific questions. I think a 285 might need a slight fender pull.

Running a 19x9 +22 is certainly reasonable for a coupe, a sedan would be poking though.

Shouldn't be too big of a deal if you can return the spacers or sell to a friend, much better than being stuck w/ +22 offset wheels
Might squeeze right inside the fender edge w/a little camber help. Only issue is the front fender edge isn't flat-rolled like the rear, but could be rolled easily.

Well at least you have the setup on hand so should be pretty easy to see exactly what you'll need, and just maybe they'll fit as is. If you just do a fit (without really cranking down the spacers) and leave the spacers "as new" they should be able to exchange for a thinner one if needed.

Not in a rush but would consider selling my Forgeline wheels to those that are interested. They are custom forged wheels so low-ballers will be ignored. PM me if interested.

Thanks kdawg, I didn't need any spacers. With these specs, there's more than 5mm clearance with the akebonos front and rear. I have the "R face" in the rears (most concave face) but had to run a M face (less concave) up front to clear the brakes. If you want the most concave face up front, you'll need to run a more aggressive offset or width.

You should consider these wheels if you want light wheels..RS05RR in this size weigh in around 19lbs

Looks good but I would've started with a 285 or 295 on the 10.5 rear.
