Default Optimal Tire Sizes

Okay heres the deal....I'm getting some wheels in these sizes

19x9.5 +0
19x10.5 +0

I want to know what tire sizes to run with MINIMAL fender work. Roll only if possible. I was thinking 235/35 up front and 255/35 out back?

Will I need to get "A" arms up front to adjust camber? I know 350z coilovers do not have camber adjustment like the 240 i came from, but i would like to know if +0 with no camber adjustment up front is possible. I can also go with a +12 offset up front if +0 would be too much. All in all, I'm just trying to be as flush as possible without a ridiculous amount of work. If anybody can help me out that would be MUCH appreciated

Well +12 is much closer to flush, but still stick out from the fender. I would do +12 front and rear, then you can run a tire 245/35 front and 275/35 rear, tires that actually fit the wheels.

255/35 out back?

Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 102.51 MPH. This is acceptable.

You drive a Base with neither VDC or TCS? You can do just about anything you want.

doesn't matter what size you need, you're going to be doing a lot more than minor rolling out back

alignment specs? impossible to say without a before/after the wheels go on - offset can affect it, and even with a higher offset, it still may be out of spec (its car dependant, not offset dependant)

flush is a relative term...the more flush you want it, the more work there is involved

255 in the back? That's a cute tire.
