Ok so I've been reading all the comments and looking at pics of fitment. Just looking for verbal approval of my wheel specs. Any help is appreciated!
I have a set of 19x9.5 35mm wheels. I also have a set of Eibach pro springs to go along with these. I don't want my wheels to stick out past the fender, and it seems specs are so different from one car to the next, with not much clarification on how it's dropped or whether camber is needed. I don't want to run negative camber, and I want the wheels to be flush with fenders. I had my wheels off today doing other service, and test fitted a wheel. It stuck outside the wheel well by like a 1/4" to be honest. Now I know the Eibach drop will pull the wheels in, but will it be enough to make flush and not run camber or pull fenders? I'll be running 255/35R19 tire wise.

That's gonna look crazy stretched though on a 9.5" wheel which I don't want either. I was so sure of fitment until today when I seen how far it stuck out. I've read this whole thread and other with pics of wheels on 2nd gen sedans and there's people running 10" wheels with 15-25mm offset and their pics show wheels flush. I thought I was going conservative honestly. Lol! Now I'm completely confused on how they're running those wheels and mine are sticking out so far. I'm thinking of selling these and getting 19x8.5 35mm at this point. I know those will fit.

It's almost impossible to flush without camber... only way to do zero camber flush is to stretch... try 245.... I might be wrong, but I think 24mm is about 1" so you are saying that you are over about a half inch at 255, try 245, that's roughly 1/2" slimmer... the stretch won't be that noticable.... it's only 10mm I'll be getting my tein s tech next weekend... I'll let you know how that goes.
No no no. I'm not even talking tires at all. Lol! I def know what a 255 will look like on a 9.5" wheel. I bolted (just the wheel) onto the hub today while the car was jacked up. By looking at it from the front/top view the wheel alone was sticking outside the wheel well by like a 1/4"...with no tire.

Here's my 275/30/20.... haven't dropped it yet... as you can see, your 255 shouldn't be a problem... and if it is, it's because your rim offset

The guy at the wheel shop had different style rims but exact same wheel and tire spec, and with the tien s tech the stance was perfect to me... the top of the tires were barely flush under the fender and his camber wasn't bad ad all (and I hate camber ed flush fitment) and that is why I am getting his exact setup... also, he do wasn't using any camber kits either. Fyi

Here's a couple pics of the set-up when I originally installed it. (note: front tires in these pics are 245/35R20's with 10mm spacers, however, I have since switched to 255's but had to reduce the front spacer to 5mm.)

This looks like a great fit v36skyrine! Can you show some pictures of the whole car? 3/4 view or something like that? Have you checked how much clearance you have left between the tire and the Inside of the fenderwell at full steering lock? I would really like to go with 275's on 9.5 wide wheels with +45 offset but I may have to limit myself to 255's if you tell me that you don't even have 6 or 7mm of space left at full lock.
