Need an expert to confirm: Offsets / Tires

I've searched the forums, read the faqs on offsets, and i'm pretty sure i have a fairly good understanding. This site really helped too: http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

I picked up a set of rims, pretty good deal, fairly cheap:

Front: 19 x 8.5, +20 offset
Rear: 19 x 9.5, +30 offset

I have the oem tires on there right now, but I plan to put on 245/35-19 for the fronts, and 275/35-19 for the rears. With this setup, adding a 10MM spacer to the rear will put the offsets at +20 all around correct? Will that be sufficient to have all the wheels flush?

is this a coupe? You will need 25mm spacers in the rear to make them "flush", and 15mm in the front.

Yup this is for a coupe. I'll need the 25mm spacers (rear) and 15mm spacers (front) even with the larger tire sizes?

those aren't larger sizes. I ran a 9.5+30 with a 25mm spacer and a 285/35/19 and still cleared with a fender roll

Here is how flush it is with the 25mm spacers

Here is how tucked the 9.5+30 is without the spacer

This is with SPC camber arms set to -1.5/1.6

that is a huge difference. okay, so +5mm offsets all around would be best, hence the 15mm up front, and 25mm in the rear. thanks again for the help red.

hm, i don't think my camber is as negative as yours. that might make the 25mm too much right?
