Well, I ended up getting Nitto NT05's. 255 35 front and 305 30 rear.

That’s a soft,Mean looking Tire!

So I just got my winter wheels and did a test fit on the front (XXR 530, 18x8.75 +33). They clear the BBK and spin freely, but there is minimal clearance (maybe 2-3mm) with the eye test. Should I be worried running it this close? If so, can I get a 5mm spacer to work without extending lugs? I'm supposed to get these mounted with X-Ice next Monday so I don't want to run into any problems when I hit the tire shop.

I got a good price on them with the discount that discount tires has right now on their ebay store. Wheels and tires are being delivered tomorrow, just in time to get them installed before my car goes in on Tuesday for the new supercharger tune.

I test fit my wheels and tires today. 20x10 +22 front and 20x11 +28 rear with 255/35 front and 305/30 rear. Car is in the shop getting the supercharger installed. There are a bunch of parts off the car including trans (new clutch). Car is up on 4 post lift. We set the car on the ground and the rear is fine, tires are a little tucked in the wheel wells but I have about a half inch of poke outside of the wheel wells on the front. I know the suspension isn't settled and if the camber will change any when settled. I'm currently set at -1.4 camber front. I'm wondering if I need to run more negative camber or if I need to go to a 9" wheel and or a different offset.

A 20mm spacer in the rear would match the fit of the front wheels.

I might go a small spacer in the rear but I'd like to keep the wheels tucked under the fender.

With a 20mm spacer in the rear, your new setup would look like this (technically 2mm more aggressive). This is 19x10 +24 and 19x11 +10.
