haha

It truthfully is a pita to drive around at that height and its my only car atm, and i drive it 30mins to work every day. The extra 1" of clearance made a world of difference and the car now rides/handles like a dream. Makes me want to treat her to some sway bars some day :P

You just motivated me to raise my car. It's too much of a hassle and pita to drive around like this

Different wheels and tires (within reason) will not affect your alignment specs.

Okay thanks. The guy at discount tire said it will put wear on the cambers because it's so aggressive?

Haha it was something along those lines. But thanks for the info. So basically if I go with the +12 the only thing I need to worry about is rolling/pulling my fenders?

with +12s you dont even need to pull the fenders. Just a good fender roll will do the trick!

I personally have 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +12 all around set up.
Wrapped in 245/275 35 profile tire.

Get the +12's hands down. You will not be disappointed.

I wanna run 245/275 tires.
Stock suspension except for Tanabe GF210 springs (1.0"/1.2")

At stock suspension, you might have been able to get away with +12's and not rolling fenders.
I rolled my fenders just to be safe because I had plans of dropping my Z.
I had a decent gap between fender and wheels.
But you're dropped a good ~1", I suggest you roll the fenders.

Open to all suggestions thanks a lot!

This is a reasonable set up and more ideal for you if you really wish to not roll the fenders.
However, you will not get the flush set up you are hoping for in the rears.

Why not roll the fenders?
Worried about ruining paint?
Take your time, do it SLOWLY.
Not a fan of 'pulling' fenders?
Fender won't pull unless you want it too.
You can roll the fender without pulling.
