since no one wants to do it i guess i'll do it :P
Not without some fender work in the rear you won't or 5* camber. A tightly-pinched roll at the very least.

19 X 10.5 +18 wrapped in Kuhmo SPT 285/35/19 (r)

I think 245 is a little bitty for this thread, and 285 is just on the edge. The car does look great though!
These sizes do not mess up VDC? I am running 245/35/19 on 19x10 and 275/35/19 on 19x11and just had to replace rears, I wanted to go meatier, to 285/35/19 in rear then when fronts wear down, move up to 265/35/19 but tire calculator showed too much difference......

Thanks for the clarification on the rules, Judge. Yeah, cuz we all like to cut our car up or pull fenders and ruin Nissan's-intended body line to make wheels fit.

Not to mention I have yet to see a DIY fender pull, etc that doesn't look complete ****. Looking through the hack jobs done in the other thread makes me cringe.

I'm sure it does great things for resell value when the car is hacked up.

at least a fender roll....once i bring the car to the body shop i'll be going back to stock fenders bcs i like the lines without the pull just find it funny people on here asking the highest offset wheel they can run without having to roll fenders so they can mount maximum rubber

fat tires with very little to no fender gap and tires flush to the fenders. <-- that SHOULD be the rule.
