Help Please!! Worried about wheel &tire setup!
I am going with a new wheel & tire setup and need to know if I am going to have any issues? The wheels are 18x1/2 56mm offset FT. & 19x11 79mm offset R. Will be going with a 255/35/18 FT. & 305/30/19R. I DO NOT want the tires to stick out the wheel well. Will I issues with the TC & speedo? The car is lowered on stock bolts but not all the way. I have been told that I will not have any rubbing issues. Need help on this guy & gals. Yes, I know all about the Search button, I have been on it. Also if anyone is running this setup POST pictures please. This has me worried!! Thanks for your Help.

Don't worry, you are in good shape.
Your offsets look real good. Your 1" extra rear wheel width will add 1/2" to the inside and outside of your stock rear wheel. So your new rear wheels will stick out 1/2" more than stock, but that will put them about flush with the rear fenders. If you can find any pics of CCW 19x11 rears you will stick out about 1/8" more than them, hardly a difference. Your front wheels should be good at 56 offset. I'm assuming they are 9 1/2" wide? If so you're missing the 9 in your specs
Ideally your front tires should be a little bigger in diameter. Your 255/35's are about 6% smaller than stock fronts but your rear 305/30's are about 3% smaller than stock rears so your front/rear proportions are about 3% off but will work OK.
