That's why I was thinking the 255/35 in the rear... but what to do with the front. Gotta do some calculations...

245/40 all around is what you will end up doing. Maybe 255/40 in the back but it's not really worth it imo.

ON Enkei RP05 and Hankook Ventus V12
I'm having a fair bit of trouble sorting this out, just trying to find the widest Hankook Ventus V12 tires I can use with stock suspension and what size of RP05 rim I would need, I will roll the fender if I must as I am aiming to have the tire poke out from the fender, which means I will probably need to stretch the tire

SO I'm looking for the easiest aggresive setup I can get from that combo
Thanks for helping!

Well sticking with the RP05 idea, I'm still aiming to get an aggresive fit, with either 18 or 19's which rim size and wrap would look good on stock suspension...

19x9.5 +40 and then the tire is kinda hard because 275 or 265 isn't stretched like you want, 255/35 may be too tall if you ever lower it, 255/30 will look RETARDED, and 245/35 is unnecessary but it works. I have 245s on my 9.5 wide rims and it looks ok to me, granted I'm lowered a bit and have +28 offset. I think those prices are a bit high btw.

if you can find some 19x9.5 +30 with 275/30/19 it might stick past the fender a little bit on stock height

It will stick past the fender FOR SURE. +40 will likely be even with the fender at stock height. I have pics Rev if you don't believe me.

ok so if I went with the 19x9.5 +30 rp05's I could fit 265/30/19's and it would be slightly stretched I think... at least more then the 275's and IF I have to I could use 5mm spacers to push it just a little more...

So if I go with that I shouldn't run into problems with rubbing or anything weird correct, any suggestions by all means, thats why I'm here
