Exclamation Help: FD Wheel and Tire Size

Hi,

Since some members seem to have an idea of how to calculate appropriate rim and tire widths and offsets, I was wondering if any of you could help me out. I'm currently running 245/35/18 with a 9" width in front and 275/35/18 with 10"width in the rear. I'm in the process of purchasing 19" wheels for both the front and rear and already put my deposit down for the front and rear fenders off the burnout kit. My question is assuming an approximately 1" (20mm) increase in width from the fenders in both the front and rear would I be able to run 10" width in the front and 11" width in the rear? I've been told that if I run 19x10 in front it will have to be a +25 offset and with 19x11 in the rear it will be a +35 offset. Do these numbers seem right? Oh and my car is dropped an 1" in the front and 1.25" in the rear. Please if you know anything let me know.

Also, regarding tires, I would like to wrap these wheels in a 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 ideally. Can anyone tell me if this sizes seem appropriate without having to do any serious modifications.

Oh, I forgot to mention, since I'm spending quite a bit of money on these wheels I would like the fitment to be completely flush with the fenders. Please take that into consideration.

Thanks,

Riz

LoL. I actually posted in both sections, knowing everyone who can provide me with useful information might not visit both. Thanks.

The reason we have separate forums is not so people can duplicate threads! I'm posting in your suspension section thread and closing this one.
