Need help. Got new rims and need help with tire sizes.
Need help. I have new rims and need help with tire sizeses to fit my application. I have a 09 g 37S sedan lowered on swift springs with spc front/rear camber kit and toe bolts. Other than that stock sport suspension. Got a good deal on some wheels that was too good to pass up. Sizes: front 19×9.5 offset +35 and rear 19×10.5 offset +30. What are the best tire sizes that I can run without rubbing or major fender modification? Suggestions are much appreciated in advance. Tried search function and didn't get any help on these offsets on a sedan.
Sorry,I am ignorant to the use of the tire calculator in this application. Thank you for all your help. I'm going to be ordering tires soon.

That +30 is aggressive for the rear. From the research I've found for 19" wheels a 255/40 & 285/35 has the closest revs-per-mile to OEM. Therefore your speedometer won't be too off from actual speed. That is what I plan on running.

Thanks a lot for your time and expertise with the numbers . Please bare with me I'm new to the way off sets work.I guess I probably should've done more research before my purchase. I know those probably aren't the ideal offsets for a sedan. But like i said I got a good deal on wheels and I'd like to try make them fit if possible. Even if it requires a slight stretch on tires. But I don't really want to have to pull the fenders to make it fit. Unless i absolutely have to. I am definitely trying to figure out my options at this point. Thank you sir for your help. It's much appreciated.
This is more than a stretch, you'll have to run more camber if you don't want to pull fenders.
FWIW, i run Swift Springs on my RWD now. With camber in spec, my 9.5+38 w/ 255s already extend a little beyond the fender (p.s. this is considered a slight stretch.) It clears when it tucks on full suspension compression. Based on measurements though, i am unable to run 275s on the current set-up without possibly rubbing.
Your rears will extend an extra 21mm by comparison. We're talking strictly wheel sizes here, not factoring in tire widths and profiles.

I'll be running 10.5 +25 in the rear

I want to thank all the guys that chimed in to try and help me with their knowledge and experience with this issue. So if I am understanding the consensus correctly. I have 3 options. option 1 run a 255/ low profile tire. Super duper stretched with lots of negative camber and probably still get rubbing/premature tire wear. Or option 2 pull the fenders. Or option 3 resell the wheels and buy some with proper offsets. Is this summary correct? Thanks again for all the guys that shared their time/experience to help me out. I'm in a pickle.
