Question on rim/tire in the front

I was about to purchase 19x9.5 +42 with a 245/40/19 tire for the front and rear but was told that the fronts may not fit and possibly hit the control arm. Can I add a 5mm spacer to clear the control arm and if I do, would I still be tucking or will I be out of the fender?

Is this setup not ideal? I really didn't want to run staggered so I can rotate my tires since I drive 90 miles a day. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

I don't think a 19x9.5 +42mm will clear the front without a spacer. I know someone that tried to run 19x9.5 +45mm and he ended up putting a 15mm bolt on spacer just to get around.

I have an 05 G35 Sedan.

Thanks Kevin. How aggressive does it become with the 15mm spacer?
