The reason i was going to go 19x9.5 +22 all around is because they only make 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 in that color and i am not stretching the tires that much for everyday abuse.

I want to run 235/40/19 up front and 255/35/19 rears.......but from what im reading it will be extrememly close in the fronts but the rears will fit great

Honestly, I just live with the rubbing. It's just on the plastic fender liner, and the plastic clips that mount the fender liner to the car. Worst case, I will replace those parts if needed. You are not going to rub on anything serious like the fender or suspension, you just have to live with the rubbing sound on big dips....

Tru.

So you think i should be good with that set-up without running a lot of negative camber.

I just dont want to buy wheels and tires and find out they dont fit right and have to get new tires

I think he means circumference. They are about 0.4% different which is pretty close.

As far as camber goes, it depends on what you think a lot of camber is. You are going to need over -2 all around. For some people that is ok, others think it is crazy. My personal preference is to stay under -2ish.

If you want my personal opinion, I think those wheels are too aggressive for an Eibach drop.... It would probably make sense to go with the 225/255 combo the first time around just to be on the safe side. You are still going to need all the camber the Eibach drop gives, and will still be pushing it a little.

If you are going to run a non-staggered setup (nothing wrong with that), I would go with a fully square setup on the tires and take advantage of what it offers (the ability to rotate tires and a reduction in understeer-- both big advantages). I just don't think you can do that with the setup you are talking about (well, you can, but it doesn't make a lot of sense).

Cool thanks for the advice. Im just not sure what set-up yo run. It is so confusing with this car to run a good safe aggressive wheel and tire combo.

My Z was easy 19x9.5 +17 front and 19x10.5 + 22 rears slammed on BC's.

I think they might make a 19x8.5 +35. Do you think that would make more sense for the fronts and run the 19x9.5 +22 on the rear?

Thanks for all your help.
