Default What do you think will look better and what will work?

I've done alot of research already and am thinking about going for a new look with my wheels and tires. I have the stock brembo set up and am thinking about going with some AME Circla spec R rims with a 19x9+10 F and 19x10+0 R. I do plan on cutting the fenders for this to work. What my question is Do you think this agressive offset will clear the stock brembo's? I'm pretty sure it will but just want some feedback.

Next question. As far as tires goes what do you personally think will look best? I think I want to go for that nice wide look in the back so I'm voting for some toyo t1r's 245/35/19 F and 295/35/19 R. Do you think it's going to stick too far out of the fenderwell? Will it fit? I know i've seen a few Z's on the forum running 295's for the rear.

And last question. What do you think the best tire width for the front is? I like the sleek look of the 245 but should I run 255 instead since I'm making a big jump from 275 to 295? Thanks for all the future help guys!!!

If your car is lowered a 275/30/19 front will not work with a +10 offset on a 9" wheel. I have a 275/30/19 front with a +22 offset on a 9" wheel with the camber in spec and it rubs slightly.

19X10 +0 on the rear on a lowered car will never work either. I have a 295/30/19 o nthe rear with a rolled lip and it rubs as well everso slightly on biug dips. Your offset is too agressive.

A 295/35/19 is too tall a tire. It's the wrong size.295/30/19 9s correct.

Best tire size for a 9" wide wheel is 275. The best tire size for a 10" wide wheel is 295.

I believe for T1Rs they're a little bit on a thin side, so I would say
you get 255 in the front.
Many other members here run 255 front.

I'm not trying to run a 275 front tire nor a +0 offset. I was going to either do 245 or 255 for the front with a +10 offset. and 285 or 295 for the rear with a +0 offset. It has been done before.

If your car is lowered in the back a 295 on a 10" wide rim with a +10 offset won't work. But... you'll find that out once you order it.

actually I was going to do a +0 in the rear and +10 up front. I've seen it done before with these particular wheels but thanks for the insight. I'm going to call Dominic at ame tomorrow and toyo as well and see if I can get some better insight if the setup I want will work or not.
