Then the next question is whether you doing this for any specific class? If not and this is just you wanting fat tires...then you can go as fat as you want...

275/285 will need rolling of the fenders anything more you'll need to pull!

Just wanted to run this by the forum before I did anything crazy. Thinking of going with 19x9.5 +28 in front with 255/35/19 and 19x11.5 +10 with 305/30/19 in the rear and considering either Stance Pro Comp coilovers or a set of Tanabe Sustec Pro 5's. And of course fender rolling and a pull, not sure how far out the fenders will need to be pulled though. Opinions, fitment issues? I'm new to this but I think I got it down.

Rub city, unless the stretching makes it work (totally possible, and out of my area of expertise). I know that 305/30 rubs on 19.10.5 +22 for most cars. Your wheel sticks "out" ONE INCH further than that, so it'll rub IMO.

Yah, I think I figured it out some. I'll just go with a little more offset, probably fit it easily with +28 and as aggressive as +14 depending on the offsets offered from whatever wheel I decide to get??? I'm guessing +10 would be A LOT of body work to fit.

Well I'm currently in Iraq so couldn't tell you suspension specs. I know my rear fenders are only rolled and I'm not going to stretch them. You also need to take into consideration you wheel size/offset. I'm running a 19x11 +25.

Finally, after a year owning these the fronts are ready to be replaced on my Rays Nismo, current running 285/35/19 in the rear and 245/40/18 in the front. I was thinking of going 265/40, but is 275/40 pushing it for 9in?

275/35 will work great up front with those wheels

ummm no. I run a 305 rear on +18 10.5 and I scrub all over with a good roll and stock camber settings(what are wide tires good for if you run retard camber). Anyway, pushing them out 20mm more is going to make it impossible without major work.

Also, I run michelins which seem to have a more square shoulder compared to say hankook or vredestein. Having to install +10mm fenders to get my wheels to fit.

I run a 18x10.5 +15 with a 305/35/18 NO rubbing whatsoever with the rears rolled. Lowered on Teins. Once I get the block built I may be swapping to 315/30/18 Hoosiers as they are 7lbs lighter than the MT's

The 19x11.5's only sit out 13mm each way further than a 10.5. I have at least 3/4" clearance on the inside and with the 305's another 13mm wouldnt be that big of an issue as the stretch will provide a bit more clearance than my set up. If in doubt do a slight pull in the affected area

When I was ordering my wheels I spoke with HRE and we agreed that a 11" +20 would push the wheel out too far. With you running a 10.5" +18 you're 7mm (.3") out more than my 11" +25. I'm surprised you didn't go 11" +18.

Yes. The sidewall will be around the same height as your 245/40's.

not all 305's are created equal.

Volk GTS not offered in 11" afaik.

11" +25 would be nice! Stoptech brake clearance is an issue. My GT-S barely clear now.

I'm running StopTech w/o issue. However I know wheel designed makes a difference.
