Wheel Spacers 101

honestly, after seeing how small our studs are stock, its even sketchy running bolt on spacers(so many little bolts that have to be torqued properly and checked regurlarly). if your'e going to set up the car for spacers, you might as well replace all studs with arp bolts/open ended lugs, and feel free to play with spacers as your heart desires. if not, just buy proper offsets

G'day guys,
Just looking for some opinions and advice.
We have a 2012 coupe with the sports wheels (Rays 19 inch) front 9 inch width, rear 10 inch, currently fitted with 245/19/40 on front and 275/19/35 tyres on the rear.
I am having the rims stripped and powder coated in gloss bronze (the var is red so it should look great), and I want to space the wheels and it needs new tyres so I also think I will go up a size.
Just wondering how you think it will look going from the above to the new dimensions following.
NOTE: car has not been lowered and we aren't planning to.
Thinking of doing 15mm spacers all round and putting 255/19/40 tyres on the front with 285/19/35 tyres on the rear (both up a size from the originals.
I want it to look flush, but I don't want the tyres hanging out over the guard AT ALL, and I also wonder if this would rub out anywhere??
All advice and opinions welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you.
