slam your ride and go with this setup:

front:+17 with 245
rear:+18 with 275 (looks a little bit streched)
lowering about 1 inch (on new coilovers, don´t know if it work with just lowering springs)

and you´ll be fine!!!!! no fender rolling or cutting necessary

i have that same exact size and offsets...trust me if your going for the same setup, you'll have to roll your rear fenders...unless you put stretched tires in the rears...it should probably have clearence...

to OP: You will have to roll with a 285/35 setup just slightly at the upper part of the tab if you intend to do any spirited driving and this is with a stock ride height. People need to understand that if they want this look they have to pay in some way and those ways are a little more aggressive camber, roll the fenders or a stenched tire which I don't recommend. The smallest tire i would go is a 275 on a 10.5 but that's cutting it to close in my opinion.

Did you get your fenders rolled out like in slightly pulled or did you just have the tabs rolled in. My body guy is doing mine right now and he rolled them but I intend drop the car and still have a few concerns and thought they should be pulled slightly also.

As ^ said you'll need to do a mild roll in the rear. Well worth it though, to run those sick offsets and still have wider rubber. 245/275 is so 2004
