springs and offset question

So I have an 05 coupe with the oem 19's and it's time to get some new rims since my tires are almost done

I've tried searching, but most people get 19 x 10.5 and the dimensions i want are:

19 x 9 f +17 and 19 x 10 +19 volk sf winnings

and planning on getting 255/35/19 front, and 275/35/19 rear

for the drop I'm debating between the Tokico dspec spring package for the 350z(DSK512) or tein CS w/ edfc

It's a daily driver, but I plan on tracking it a couple of times

Would I rub with those tires and offsets if i'm dropped on the dspec spring package?

thanks in advance for the responses

the rear offsets are about as aggressive as you can get, and even with the stretch tire you have, there will be rubbing under compression, which WILL occur at the track. Get the rear fenders rolled, its as simple as that

rolling fenders aren't the same as cutting fenders is it? because i don't really want debris flying in there

if you cut the fenders won't debris fly onto your axles?

The only bad thing that can happen when you roll your fender is it may crack the paint inside the fender if not done correctly, but if heated correctly and rolled slowly, the paint won't crack. I did it on mine myself without any cracking issues

thanks redlude for schooling me on this

everyone tells me that rolling fenders are bad, but they never give me an answer to why

Would you think +19 f and +22 would have rubbing issues?

depends on tire size, drop, and camber settings. The fronts should be okay, but the rears will likely rub

if i'm going to be dropped on the tokico dspec spring and shocks package and I plan on getting 275/30/19 in the rear

or should i go with 265/35/19?

I see that you're dropped on 350z htech's, did you change to different shocks?

i've pretty much decided i'm going to roll my rear fenders and that volks only come in half sizes

and i asked a local shop about rolling fenders for:

19x9.5 +19 f and 19x10.5 +17 r

I will just need to roll them and not have to cut the fenders on the rear w/ a 275/35/19 tire correct? Also is it best to roll fenders before i get my rims and tires installed?

Rolling and cutting serves the same purpose, so you only have to do one or the other, not both. I recommend rolling, and you should stick to 275/35/19 or even 285/35/19 since you are rolling anyways
