Default Heading to a 345 rear, opinions needed

so the 305s arent cutting it, arent stickey enough but look great. 1st and 2nd are useless with these rear tires. car makes excess of 550hp

ive searched for a few days and came to the conclusion that 345 would be a good compramise for a bigger footprint and a softer tire. then it wont be so rowdy and out of control in 1-2 gear. as it sits 3rd is only gear i can hammer it and she wont spin in lol dont get me wrong im NOT complaining but....traction is KEY in the end

with that said, i have sp500s 19x12 by my measurement (bought used) and im running a 3/16 spacer , what i want comments on is whether that 345 will be hanging out too far and be TOO much for the car without L5s or other fender flares
running 275/30/19 on the front currently

i hope i havent offended anyone about making this thread, as i did search for days, but this is specific to the look vs the "will it fit thread"

here is a pic of how it sits now , if you have a similar setup with a 345 PLEASE post a pic

thanks

damn your car has an awesome stance!!

i have to wonder what my offset is on these wheels. ill have to measure because i dont have the orig build specs.
i guess i can pull that 3/16 spacer if it hangs out too far as a end result.

I'm currently have 345/35/18 M&H tires that have never seen the light of day. Never been mounted! My Price is $780 total with
shipping cost. I was going to use them for my 2012 ZR1 but couldn't get the wheel size.
