Horrible weather today in Gainesville, Fl...but I managed to snap a few shots before the clouds rolled back in for the 4th storm of the day!
Car is dirty - photos w/ canon s1000 (wasn't risking my DSLR in the rain) - nothing snazzy about the shots
Specs - Work XD9's 18x9 + 20 255/35 F
18x10 +3 (w/ 15mm spacer) 285/35 R
Dropped on Hotchkis springs & springmount cut in the rear 1/2". Will be rollin on PSS coilovers by summer end.
I'll take some better pictures once the v2 is painted and the ings sides are on!
I couldn't get photobucket to save the files vertical for some reason.

I think the rule of thumb should be the following:
Front Wheels/Tires
- at least 9" wide
- 255 or more sized tire
Rear Wheels/Tires
- at least 10.5" wide
- 285 or more sized tire
Low offsets help the aggressiveness, but they don't always have to be less than a +15.

Yes, there have a been a few here and there, but not too far off.

8": 245
8.5": 255
9": 265-75
9.5": 275-285
10": 285-295
10.5": 295-305
As far as the other requirement, aggressiveness should be defined as at needing a fender roll in the rear at the minimum, and with corresponding offsets in the front. With fat tires, the minimum offsets for particular widths should be in this range or lower
Front
8": +0
8.5": +5
9":+15
9.5": +22
10": +25
Rear
9.5": +0
10": +8
10.5": +15
11": +22
11.5": +30
Even those guidelines are pretty generous

I would say these are poor criteria, since a 255 on a 9" wheel is still pretty stretched. Fat tires should be defined as tires mounted on the lower end of the recommend wheel widths
8": 245
8.5": 255
9": 265-75
9.5": 275-285
10": 285-295
10.5": 295-305

Based off your guideline, a 19x10.5 must at least have a +15 offset with a 295 tire. This is pretty much the limit, unless extensive body work is done.
I'm running that exact setup except with a +10 offset and I had to not only run -2 camber, but also get my fenders/rear bumper pulled and inch out on each side.

Well put, although I think it should be a little more generous.

Will I rub with 19x9 +15 -2 camber 245/35 (front) 19x10.5 +14 -1.4 camber 275/35 (Rear)?? Wanted some opinions before ordering the spacers. I am planning on rolling the fenders.
Not my ride but to keep the pics flowing and this thread alive, The look Im going for.
