19x11 295/30...Is it possible?
I'm about to order a set of wheels for the wagon. I've got a friend that is a master fender roller, he can pull too if necessary, but I'd prefer not to pull to the point of getting a whack looking fender. I'm ordering 19's and considering going 9" front and 11" back (This wheel manufacturer only does whole inch increments). I prefer a meaty tire setup vs a stretched look and I'd like to get AT LEAST a 285 if not a 295 under the car (I'm thinking: 255/35R19 Front & 295/30R19 Rear Bridgestone Pole Positions).
So my question is this, can it work? If so, what offset would be right? I've seen 305's on a 20" wheel. So why wouldn't this work? Any and all advice is appreciated.

From what I understand, we have enough room on the inboard side of the wheel well. Someone has 12" wheels. My 10.5" wheels are arriving today and I will be running 305s. I had the fenders rolled as a precautionary measure.
FWIW, LM7 was running 315's in the rear. He had a 42 offset and then shaved an extra 3mm from the inner part of the wheel hub.

So unlike the "stance crowd" the tire will look pretty flush with the wheel. If I was "stretching" I'd be putting a 255 on a 11" wheel.
I definitely agree with you though about the no stance look. I also don't like a "buldge" look either.

This place is a joke.
I'm running widened stock (replica) wheels on the rear. Originally 18x9 et35. Added 1" (actual 7/8") to the inside, making the wheel 18x10 et46(approx) I'm running a 285/35 with no rubbing issues, even with suspension collapsed. I have about 1/2" clearance inside to shock dust boot, and same towards the front inner fender liner. Your +45 sounds about right. Better err on the side of positive offset, it's easy to add a small spacer..3mm or so and still keep the wheel hubcentric. Harder to machine the wheel for less offset if you had to. I plan on running 295's when the 285's wear out.

295s on a 11" wheel will have a slight stretch to it, nothing major though. I was running a 325 on a 11" wheel on the back of my vette and it gave it that meaty look I was going for. I think a 295/305 would be perfect, specially if your willing to roll the fender a bit. Personally I'd do the 305.
