Is your car lowered? I'm no expert but I'd say if it wasn't, it might. And maybe even if it was lowered, it still might look ridiculous. Just my opinion :S

Well the wheels are 19x9 ET35 stamped on the back but's funny when i meassure them form the "outside" lip to lip they are 10" on the "inside" they are 9"......maybe thats why i get 10mm almost 1/2" outside the fender

Any idea on tire size to make it look good - some stretch maybe?

No drop yet but thinking either eibach or maybe megan coilovers....

eibach - confortable ride but maybe rubbing
coilovers - exact drop but sacrifice ride

Nice rims--I've seen something similar on the BMW X5.

In these parts having the wheel/tire stick out that much will get you a ticket.

225 or 235...
Get coilovers if you're getting into stance and dialing in the perfect drop/look. Actually, springs on stock shocks will generally be more harsh than coilovers. I'm pretty low on Tein SS and I think the car drives nice and smooth.

Also, based on that picture...when you put the car down on that rim, you will get some negative camber and it will sit perfectly. Won't be bad. Maybe need a fender roll but it'll be worth it.

235s won't give you any poke on a 9in wheel. run a 215 if you want poke. negative camber will give you a flush look with the 235s

you're confusing poke with stretch. I don't like the look that much, I'd rather have a tire that protects the rim and allows fast turns.

im pretty sure you will poke out less than your pics once you actually get tires on and have contact with the ground

Yep, exactly...with a tire, you'll get some negative camber...lower you go, the more camber you'll end up with...so it will likely clear the fender just fine.

FWIW, when you measure a wheel width, it's the inside measurement where the bead of the tire seats that is the width we use when describing a wheel, not the outside measurement.
