245/35 front
275/30 rear
According to the site I was looking at with the above wheel specs listed, it said 100% fitment for my car. I'm just curious if they would stick out past the fenders. I really don't want to have to worry with rolling my fenders later if I decide to lower.
The offset calculator link above said
front: 4mm less inner, 8mm more outer, compared to front 124s
rear: 29mm less inner, 9mm more outer, compared to rear 124s with 15mm spacer

The outer edge of the rear wheel will sit exactly in the same point as mine (8.5" ET14 + 12mm spacer) and it doesn't rub. I can't tell about the inner edge though.

Still trying to decide........
Will a 9.5 et33 fit up front? According to the calculator they will only extend out 6mm further than the 124's, but gives you 32mm less clearance on the inside.
Is there enough room for that? Other option for the wheel i'm looking at is 8.5 et15, but that extends out 11mm further than the front 124's. Is that too much? I want them to be flush or slightly recessed/ tucked on the front. Def don't want them sticking out!
For the rear, I think I've decided to go with a 19x11 et33 which extends an extra 9mm over the 124's with the 15mm spacer.
