Nor 325/35-18, which should be a more common size and exactly what I want.

Think I'll just say F it and go completely the other way with 20x10 and 20x12 and drop the car again.

Got the Advan F7's, they definitely aren't meaty. Will have to take care of that promptly. In the meantime going to refinish them. Originally they were just bare with clearcoar, might either go back to that or powdercoat a nice gun metal.

Feel like I read through every page, trying to nail this down.

Heres what I am thinking -

Front - 19x9.5 +22 w/ 285/35/19
Rear - 19x10.5 +12 w/ 325/30/19 (Can i squeeze 345)?
(No VDC issues here right?)

Lowered on Swifts...

Will I rub with stock camber components?

I dont think so because the diameters are relatively close to what i have right now and i dont rub one bit while running-

Front 18x9.5 +12 w/ 245/45/18
Rear 18x11 +20 (-25mm Spacer, -5 effective) w/ 275/40/18

Which tire mfg are you looking at?
As the fitment of a 285/35 will fit a 9.5" wheel no problem,
The 345's usually call for a 12" wheel....My Nitto Invo's are probably the narrowest 345's mounted on a 19x12, measuring 13.3" at widest point/ while Michelins are 13.8".
The Invo's will be your best shot at a 345,as by the way it fits-appears it would fit an 11" wheel...they may be pinched on a 10.5", but I've seen 345/30/18 drag radials on a 10.5 wheel.

I running 285/35-19 P4S on 19x9.5, +25 front. Stock height. There is a small lump inside the fender, towards the bumper. Think it is for bolt clearance. That's the only place that I rub at. I do trackdays. So that maybe why I rub in that spot. The extra cornering forces.
In the rear. I'm running 345/30-19 PPS on 19x12, +28. No rubbing, but I don't think I have enough clearance to run a true coil-over in the rear. It's tight at the top of tire and shock. If true coil-overs are in your plans. Go with the 325's.

did you have to do anything to the rear to fit?
I have 305/35/18 toyo r888r on 12" et 27 and its stretching a bit. I want to go to 335's next

Could I run 305/35/20 with 1 inch spacers in the rear?
