Default Help fitting new wheels!!

Im not sure if this is the right forum, sorry if it is. Please direct to an existing thread if so. Ive been reading up on this forum for the the past few months. I havent found much on how to fit wheels properly. I bought bc racing coilovers and ill be ordering an spc camber kit. Cant wait to install them myself. I want that flush look 😁 currently my wheel specs are f19x9.5 +23 r19x10.5 +24 on f235/35 r265/30. Now the question is how low should i go? I was thinking 1 2/3" front 2 1/2" rear. Do i lower the car first and then measure for spacers? I want to run 15mm front 20mm rear. Also how much camber do i want to run? Sorry for all the questions im pretty new to this. Heres an example of the look im going for. Ill post pictures of my car later today 😁

those are +12 VOLK TEs (i guess that they are authentic). i would get the spacers first, mount them and then lower the car to where you want it to sit (maybe requieres some adjustment after the first attempt). and if all that is done i would play with camber and other stuff. depending on how low you want to go you need to roll the rear fenders. a +4 in the rear with a 265 should rub! imo a 10mm spacer front and rear should do the trick.

lower all 4 corners to about where you want.
possibly start with one pair of 10mm you can use to test both front and rear on one side of the car. that way you can decide and get the other pair for the other side or maybe you decide to get a 15mm or 20mm as needed to suit your preferences.

I would start with buying new tires, typically a 245/35-19 front and 275/35-19 rear. Then add maybe a 10mm spacer and lower the car.

Thanks man. Do you think 15mm is too agressive? I do want run bigger tires but I just bought coilovers lol.

if you really need to roll your rear fenders i don't see a problem in putting 15mm spacers there, since you have to roll and prob. pull them a bit anyway.but as terrasmak already stated buy some nice tires first and than go from there. not sure with the front though...maybe you need to roll or pull them a bit! but IMO everything is fixable as long as you know what you want . get some tires, buy some spacers (15mm if you want them) and then get the fenders rolled and you should be fine!
