need help pls wheels and tires

Im new to this, pls dont tell me to search because i tried and wheels are hard to buy unless youre sure

I have a 2010 G37S big brake kit, heres what i want

Im going to buy, wheels/tires/coilovers (i drive the car in winter on 225/50r18 all around FYI)

I want to have a flush-ish look(depending if i would need to roll fenders)
I want the front wheel to look a BIT concave rear to look A LOT concave
I dont want to roll or pull my fenders (DEFINITELY NOT)
I dont want to adjust the camber(if really necessary not a big deal)

My options are 19"(225/45r19 and 245/40r19 OR any other tire setup that is wider) or 20"(245/35r20 and 275/30r20)

STANCE SC5 19":
Front 19x8.5 +15 or +35
Rear 19x9.5 +20 or+35 or+40

Stance SC5 20"
Front 20x9 +32 or +20
Rear 20x10 +35
Rear 20x10.5 +45 or +27

ROHANA RC10 20"
Front
20x9.0 +15 5x114.3
20x9.0 +25 5x114.3
20x9.0 +35 5x114.3
Rear
20x10.0 +25 5x114.3
20x10.0 +40 5x114.3

ROHANA RC10 19"
Front
19x8.5 +35 5x114.3
Rear
19x9.5 +40 5x114.3

YOU GUYS TELL ME THE SETUP THAT WILL GO WITH WHAT I WANTED(NO FENDER ROLL ETC.)
AND WHAT DROP WOULD BE OK TO GO WITH WHAT I WANT

Wheel and offset selection depends on whether you have a coupe or a sedan, which you neglected to mention.

It looks like half of those are sedan offsets.

A drop of more than an inch will necessitate a camber kit, unless you want to wear out your tires. That means you should be looking at an eibach spring kit, maybe even then you'll need a camber kit.

If you get 20" wheels at all, you'll want to lower the car to reduce the wheel gap. Of course it all depends on aesthetics, but 99% of people lower the car when they put on 20's, unless they happen to like the jacked up 4x4 look.

Given your reluctance to add a camber kit, which means you can't drop it much, you should not get 20" wheels.

That really just leaves the Rohana and SC5 19's. the Stance comes in sedan and coupe offsets, but all you've listed on the Rohanas is sedan offsets. Therefore, if you have a coupe, then get the SC5's, if you have a sedan, then it doesn't matter.

GoFightNguyen gives solid advice (as always)
Like he said, really need to know what you're driving, the offsets are quite different from sedan to a coupe.

Since you like the SC5s and RC10s I'd give the Niche wheels a look, they've got some very nice looking wheels and are easier on the budget.
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/sport-series-c-1772.htm
If you click on each wheel it'll list the fitment and show various concavity depending on width.

If you have a sedan, my setup sounds similar to what you're after. I'm running 20x8.5 +40 245/35/20 front & 20x10 +45 295/30/20 dropped to zero gap on coilovers.

For a coupe the offsets need to be about 15mm less positive, and since the rear fender isn't rolled like the sedan you can't run as wide a tire, but 275s will be easy to fit.

Well, then, sounds like SC5's 19" are your only option that satisfies all the criteria you set forth. The "thanks" button is on the bottom right corner.

Only time you need to adjust your camber/alignment is when you alter your suspension either by raising/lowering it or hitting a big pothole or something similar that may jar something in your suspension causing the alignment to change. It is a good idea to get your alignment checked every couple years though as things can cause your alignment to go out over time.

I recommend the camber kits whenever you lower your car YMMV.

Agreed, you do not want to pay for shop time to install a coilovers/springs, pay for an alignment, then find out you need a camber kit. If that happens, you'll have to shell out for shop time again, and another alignment.

Last question if I run 245/40r20 and 275/35r20 do you think I can only drop my coupe an inch and save on the camber kit and avoid rolling or pulling fenders.
