Do the wheels that you want come in offsets that are an easier fit, or is this a used set that you don't have that luxury? Something like a +25 would make your life easier for sure.

There's no spacer, and I don't think machining the hub is a great idea. And if I remember right they are +15 offset. According to the previous owner.
No other options besides the dreaded fender pull.
I'd look for another set of wheels, might be able to find someone to trade that's wanting to go hellaflush.

Trade the wheels for something better fitting...go with 19s.

Would this forum be a good place to start bartering?

The car has aftermarket camber arms on it so I'm going to adjust some of it out and add some ride height as well. Maybe try my luck on Craigslist with the wheels first.

I've posted many a good wheel deals here...if you don't mind dealing with shipping some kinda far.
If you want to stick with 20s, best option would be a set of CBA/DBA GTR wheels...stock forged by Rays and can be had for 900-1200, keep an eye on the gtrlife forum.

It's a used set for very cheap, probably gonna have to pass them up this time.

So I just got some wheels 19x9.5 +30 all around. Will these tire sizes be good without any rubbing or modification to the fenders. I got some recommendations to go with 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear or 285/35/19. I'm afraid that they'll be poking out. I have a 08 Coupe RWD and at stock ride height but plan on lowering it with some coilovers in the near future.

At stock height the 275s & 285s will poke outside the fender a bit. I'd run the 255s on all four then reevaluate once you drop it. you could always get the wider pair later, but in the meantime you'd have a decent fit and a true 4 wheel rotation available.

Thanks for the input. I forgot to mention that I am going to run stock wheels until I get the coilovers. Which would you recommend for the rear the 275 or 285?
