add a set of 25mm spacers to your current wheels and see where they end up. That, +1mm, is where the new wheels would be

rolled fenders, stretched tires and maybe some negative camber...I'm running a 19x10.5 offset of -5 and I have no problems I'm running 245/35/19

I am in the process of putting on 19X10 -15 on my car with a 275/45 and I couldnt fi tthe rears on the car. I have to put on my camber kits and run neg camber in order to get them to fit. If I ran stretched tires I would be able to do it with out neg camber.

275/45? Completely the wrong size

even with stretched tires, you are going to have to use a combination of rolling/pulling and negative camber to make that offset work
