Added the 5mm spacers. Tried adding 2-5mm spacers on one wheel to net a +30 but I didn't want to lower the car on the ground as there wasn't enough threads to secure the lugnuts.
So the specs:
Before: 245/40-19x9.5 +40
After: 245/40-19x9.5 +35
Now I haven't drove the car with the spacers. I did turn the wheels right/left and inspected the inner wheelwell. Saw no issues of tires touching anything. Also even with the Swift springs I don't foresee any fender issues. I do want to run a 255/40 though. The 245's just look stretched on the 9.5" wide wheel. I'm curious if a 9.0 would've avoided the tire stretch. Lastly, need a front camber kit. I can see the front wheels cambered and I hate that. I much rather have a squared alignment. Gonna follow up with SPL on front camber arms.
So what have I learned.... I think the following is a perfect set-up for the rwd sedan;
Front: 255/40-19x9.5 +35 (possibly a 245/40-19x9.0 +35)
Rear: 285/35-19x10.5 +40

If your goal is to make the top of the rim flush with the edge of the fender, it looks like you're there.
When did you do this... the night you stepped off the plane?
OMG, your garage floor. I hate you.

If I could go back in time 17 years, I'd smack my wide-eyed, house-buying self in the head.
Carry on, Robert. Welcome back to the States for as long as it lasts.
