Default Suggestions for spacers/tires *pics*

Hey guys,

I just put on my "new" wheels to see how the fitment would be on the car with the spacers i have. The wheel specs are:
19x10.5 +35 R
19x8.5 +22 F

I have a set of 15mm spacers which are put on the pics I was wonderind if I could go even farther out maybe 20-25mm spacers and switch the 15s to the front wheels.
Give me some suggestions and some tire sizes that would work with your suggesting setup.

Here are the pics:
(Keep in mind the wheels are just hanging so the way they sit will change a bit)

I want to try and get the wheels to go a little past the fenders and have the tires sitting flush. I don't mind going a bit stretched but nothing overboard. I am also planning on buying coilovers before summer hits.

My wheels are the same spec as yours and my 305's required tweaking the lip.

If you are going to stretch 275's you might be able to use a 10-15mm spacer. No way in hell you will be able to run a 25mm spacer unless you run lots of camber, which would look lame and your tires will wear like kaka.

My outer lip is about 3/4" from being flush or a lttle less and that's with excessive camber.

Best bet is decide what size tires you want to run, install them and put the car on the ground and figure from there.

Right now I have a 15mm spacer on the rear in the pics.
What tire size are you running for your fronts if your rears are 305?

I have a base model, so no. Even if it wasn't a base it would be fine since rears are about 1/2"+ larger dia. than the front.

What size tires you going to run on the back end? also are you lowered or plan to lower? That makes a big diff in what works as well.

Yah I plan to lower for sure, on coilovers

I would like to run something like a 295 in the rear that would be ideal but its hard to make that work with a 8.5" wide front rim

EDIT: You'r right a 305/30 would run with a 245/35 no problems How do they fit on the car? Are you running spacers at all or just +35 offset?
