So I ordered :
WEDS Tc105n
18x9.5 +15mm and 18x10.5 +12mm (Titanium Bronze)

Going to run a 265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. Stock height for now, rear fenders rolled (a long time ago), will I have to adjust the camber and if so will the stock camber be good enough or should I get rear camber arm and toe bolt?

You just have to give up low offsets and lips, which was hard for me to do.

Color is Lexus ISF blue FTW!

At stock height you don't have anything to worry about.

I would probably go with a 275 on your wheels or even maybe a 285 but I think that is the limit.
Yea, the guy at the tire shop recommended 275/30 and 305/30. I was just worried that I'd have to then invest in suspension and rolling sooner than I was ready.

On stock suspension a 30 series would look terrible.

Well, going with a wider tire, the aspect ratio of 30 would be comparable to my current 275/35. There is a bit of a gap, but I'm planning on a drop in the near future. That's why I'm planning ahead on what'll fit.

You may be right, I didn't think we could get that wide in the front though. I'm stoked to see the 345's when you get them.

Can't wait for lake weather.

Just thought I'd share an experience. I placed an order for 19x9.5 & 19x11 HRE wheels. HRE came back with offsets of +32 & +34. I questioned these offsets. Did a lot of research here and with wheel/tire calculators. I was than contacted by another HRE sales rep and we discussed they were too conservative. Still going back & forth I have elected to go with a +20 & +25. I will be running a 265/30 & 305/30 tire. However it was threads like these that have helped me from making a costly mistake.

+1, those 245's are going to look like crap

Please run a 275/30 up front at least. There's plenty of room up there on a 9.5 +20.

A 245 mm tire on a 11.0 inch wheel will look real cool.
