As for the rear u will be fine with 19x9.5 +48 & 265/30/19 even lowered. 275/30/19 will work too but be prepared to get a slight rub on the passenger rear side. Trust me, been there done that. Lol

I had 19x8.5 +45 w/235/35/19 & I hated the sunk look. +35 is definitely better & more flush.

It shouldn't rub with 235/35/19, I'm now running 19x9 +40 with 245/35/19 which is even more flush/aggressive & no problem. My car is a pre-FL though, I can't comment for FL cars.

Believe it or not, I'm now running 19x10 +50 with 275/30/19 PSS & no rub. I guess the stretched on the x10 is helping clearance.

O yeah def like the flush look just worried from other posts the Fl and pre Fl can potentially run diff offsets which blows my mind it's the same body really but that flush look is exactly what I'm going for just no rubbing wife would kill me

You're running a 19x10 with a 275/30/19 in the rear? What offset?

Sweet!
Yup! I guess the only way to fit a 9.5 with a 275, is likely to run a +50 offset, as you won't have the extra slight bit of stretch to help keep the tire inside the fender.

HRE FF15
Finally got around to finishing my install projects...a long time coming but super thrilled. Installed some H&R springs, HRE FF15s, front lip, rear spoiler, and the facelift single-fin grill, among others. And finally took some photos.
I also wanted to add a huge thank you to Jurrian@Modbargains for all of his help too... I can't tell you how impressed I am by his level knowledge, help, courteousness and patience through each and every step of my 2-month long install project. I don't post reviews much, but had to post something - felt like it was the least I can do - that post is here. Thanks Jurrian!
Also many many thanks to Greg Lenac@HRE and various forum members here who have helped me along the way - Roswell, Jasonoff, peckcrossing, INDY_WHITE_C63, C3Duece, QuartzBlueP31, etc. Thank you!
Last but not least, many many many thanks to Anthony@IND. He really went out of his way to help me out too and really appreciate it. Really impressed by how he managed the install for the springs, alignment and the front lip install so efficiently and at such a great deal. Thanks Anthony!
Now some pics:

Looks perfect. The wheel design suits the car classic look very well.
What are the wheel specs & tires? Any rubbing?

Thanks Roswell! I have you to thank for helping me with the fitment/lowering decisions.
The wheels are 19x8.5 +47 in the front and 19x9.5 +45 in the rear. Tires are Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 with 235/35/19 in the front and 255/30/19 in the rear. Absolutely zero rubbing on the H&R springs. I opted not to change the spring pad in the rear. I guess the fronts could use some spacers, but really happy as is for now.

Thanks Durban! Yea I was split between this and the HRE FF01 which was also available for the same price, but the multi-spoke really ended up flowing pretty well with the overall car. Looks somewhat like the 19" OEM option but a little better IMO.
