Will this setup work?
Will this setup work? I'd like to avoid any rubbing. I don't plan on lowering at all in the future. From what I have read, it should work, but I want to make sure before I pull the trigger.
VB3 19x8.5 +40 and 19x9.5 +45 235/35/19 Front 265/30/10 Rear Thanks! |

If its a 1 series, probably not the rear needs a much higher offset. |

Wheel calculator
http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp You will need to know the OE wheel/tire size and offsets. This by no means is a guarantee, only to be used as a guide. Are you on OE suspension? For the front you will most likely need additional negative camber to clear the wheel lip but based on the offset you listed it might not fit at all. For the rear (as mentioned) you might need more offset or a spacer. For reference the OE M-Sport 261 wheel/tire sizes Front - 215/40/18 7.5" ET49 Rear - 245/35/18 8.5" ET52

If you run 225 & 255 instead of 235 & 265, you should be okay (with rolled rear fenders). Then again, if you are not lowering the car, you are probably fine without rolling any fenders.

fronts will work fine even without -ve camber, rears won't or at least it varies according to what tire you're gonna buy. it's best ig you get a 235/255 setup as it will reduce understeer while giving a decent amount of grip at the rear

Those wheels are very similar to mine. First off I hope you understand that spacers will make your situation worse, raising the suspension, camber, running stretched tires, pulling/rolling fenders will help.
I actually think you'll be fine with your first wider tire size option in Falkens until you hit large bumps or have passenger in the car and then you'll rub a little in the rear. If it rubs in the rear you can take it in for an alignment and have them add some rear camber. It would be safer to go with the smaller tires size in the rear, but 255 Falkens will look pretty stretched. Toyos and Nittos also typically run nearly as small and rounded as Falkens. I ran into way more issues when I tried to switch to Michelin PSS's. But I'm lowered around an inch. Good luck.
