Will I need to roll the fenders or what?

I am in the market for new wheels and will be doing a drop pretty soon after that...
I saw in the "WHAT WHEELS WILL FIT MY ALTIMA?! Will it fit? Rub?" sticky that some people are running 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 rear. Well that is the size wheels I am looking at with 245/35 tires in the front and 265/35 in the rear. Something like +12 offset. So my question is, with the Eibach springs, will these fit? Is it just a matter of rolling the fenders or is the offset just way to low?

Looks like all I needed to do was a little more research...

I will leave the post up in case anyone else wants to ask a dumb question like this.

With a roll, pull, and massive camber you can run 10.5+12.

NOT with 265's tho haha. To make it fit you'll be stretching tires like mad and frequenting StanceWorks

Don't do it.

Sounds like you need to start here to get a basic understanding then look at various setups

New route...
I am looking at some 18x9.5 with a +30 offset (all around) and 245/40/18 tires. Again, I will be dropping with the Eibach springs and don't mind rolling the fenders.

You will probably have to roll/trim the rear.

You will most likely rub back there on hard turns, and on regular turns with several people in the car.

I had it happen with 18x9.5+35 and eibachs

Unfortunately those wheels I was looking at had some s*** tires on them. I am still in the market for 18's and a drop though, if anyone out there is looking to sell some!!!
