If you don't have a lot of money then what made you think spending money to downgrade your OEM wheels was a good idea? I hope the roads in your town are made of marshmellows otherwise your Zedd wheels with stretched tires are going to be bent as f*ck within a month or two.
Ok I found an old picture if mine. This is when I ran 235/35 on 9.5f. It was stretched beyond my liking. I didn't have any performance issues, but it was definitely borderline. This was my 2nd set of shoes and I wanted to try a smaller width tire from my previous 245s. Needless to say, I was always worried about damaging the wheels in potholes. I actually did slice a couple of these tires and did some lip damage. For my 3rd set of shoes I went back to 245f 285r.
This is what a 235/r19/35 looks like on a 9.5 wheel.

I see it now yes that is too much stretch for me so the 245/35 shouldn't rub ?
I don't know the answer to that question. You'll have to ask one of the wheel/tire gurus here. All depends on your offset and if you have a drop. I have a 1.5 inch drop. No camber adjustments needed for such a small drop. Well I didn't need any.
I actually drove my Z to work today...a rare thing. I'll snap a photo of the 245s...

Thanks a lot man!! I'm stock height so I'm guessing it should be okay the your rear was 285/35?
GTFO I'm 18 and paid for the stuff my self about to be a college student I don't have a lot of money right now have some respect
Or you can be smart and save the little bit of money you have instead of buying piece of **** wheels. You'd be better off with stock wheels.
Stretch is ****ing retarded. Get a wheel that fits without having to do any kind of retarded *** **** to MAKE them fit, then fill the available space with as much rubber as you can. Traction is king, unless you're building a drift car or you're just a fckboy ricephag yolobish.
Like I said I run 285/35/18 on RPF1's with a +15mm offset in the rear and I have absolutely no issue with rubbing whatsoever with about 2 fingers gap. Like others have posted I wouldn't go with such a large stagger and 215 is 10mm smaller than the stock size of 225. Do you already have the wheels?
As far as being 18 and having a lack of money that is not an excuse. You should have done the research beforehand to know what you were getting into. Being 19 and about to complete my associates at my local community college before going back to Uni I totally get it. On the flip side I knew exactly what I was getting into when I sold my AWD auto sedan for a stick sports car. Don't use your age, lack of knowledge/effort as an excuse.

Alright I got my answered thanks guys wheels will be here next Thursday's I'll post a picture to show how it turns out if anyone cares to see it I'm going to go 245/35 in the front and 285/35 rear thanks guys

Yea but then you have to factor in shock travels and such. If he has a heavy cargo/passenger, that can cause rubbing.
I would rather do 265/35 on 10s than on 11, but if thats what he has to do, thats what he gotta do if he already has the tires and wheels.
And 11wide+15 offset is really agressive and will likely rub alot

Just stop man you sound dumb this isn't an argument forum but thanks anyway

I said I run a 285/35/18 +15 in the rear. You're planning on running a 275/40/19 which is a completely different size and larger in both wheel diameter and tread wall height. While it was not a concrete answer it was more of a baseline to go from.

The guy above said he runs 245/35 and 285/35/19 so I figured that would work for me plus he's dropped 1.5 and I'm stock height
