allright J here it comes:
- its about 35 to 40mm lowered
- no fender mods. possibly i'd like to keep them stock cause you can't modify the width of your car here in pizza state..
- 17" by 10 offset +30
- 245/45 tires
- standard hub size
- 5x114.3
its like -1.8/1.6 of camber...no problem to open a little bit more (;
cheers

I would stay away from 20's. I have 19's and they look great, but when I get new wheels they will be 18's. Sounds like 19's would be perfect for you.
If you have the money, don't waste your time with springs and just get coilovers. Cheap Megan Racing coilovers are about $850 shipped, and good quality and highly used on the boards are the Stance GR+ coils, which are about $1300 (I dont know shipping to Iceland). Both will let you drop 3+ inches, more than enough to eliminate wheel gap.
So give me some 19" wheel choices and I'll help you out with sizing.

20x9.5" in rear with 255.30.20 tires stretch
offset 42
Go turn your steering wheel all the way one direction and take a picture of the back fender liner behind the front wheels. I'm curious how much clearance you have between tire and the plastic.

I'm running stock suspension and I'd like to go with a 245/40/18 tire front and back. What size rim/offset should I get so I don't have to mess with the fenders, and the tires won't look too wide for the rim?

that is just the tire size i want, and I'm trying to figure out what rims width i'll need to fit them properly and what offset I'll need to prevent any problems. Is there any reason that that tire size is a bad choice?
so let me ask the question again for people who missed it above:
I want to buy some 245/40/18 tires (front and back). I've got stock suspension and I don't want to do any work on the fenders. What width rims should I get so that the tires look nice, and what offset should they be?
Bigger tires don't necessarily translate into being more square. For example, my previous Falken Azenis rt-615 in 275/35/18 were less square than my current Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08's in 265/35/18. It all depends on the manufacturer.

awesome, thanks.
I know "looks nice" is vague, but I don't have a large enough car vocabulary to really describe what I was going for :p
I was thinking 8.5s, but I was worried the tires would look too "bulge-y". I couldn't find good pics of 245/40s on 8.5s to see how they'd look.
But I thought that if I move up to 9s on the front, there might be problems with rubbing when I'm at full steering lock.
But I guess it is really the width of the tires, not the rims that would determine if it would rub or not, wouldn't it? Is 245 a safe width for front with stock suspension and setup?

Please Reply Fast
Since most of the threads in this sub-forum are questions based on "will these rims fit with this setup". Itll be easier to just answer all the questions in one thread.
Ill update this first post with links to basic explanations on how wheels sizes and offsets work. That alone should answer 90% of the questions, but it wont because its easier to post it rather than doing the research first.
Nonetheless... please just post up
Wheel Diameter (F/R)
Wheel Width (F/R)
Wheel Offset (F/R)
Suspensions Changes (i.e. - how low are you dropped. If you have coilovers... you dont need to post this as you can just adjust it after you get your wheels on.
So For Example:
F: 19X10 +28
R: 19X9 +30
Also if you like, if you have a set of tires in mind.. post up the specs to that as well
(W/P/D)
EX:
F: 235/35/19
R: 265/30/19
Many times its possible to make an aggressive wheel fit, by using an equally aggressive tire combination. Obviously this is very dangerous, more likely to lead to your tire exploding, and less protection from potholes and curb damage... but it looks so jDm!!!!
And on this note, please stop PMing me your wheel/tire questions. Just post it here, and those who know... can chime in with the info you are looking for.
Thanks
