Hey guys was just wondering if these will fit?

19x9.5 offset 20 tires: 235/35/19
19x11 offset 25 tires: 265/30/19

I am currently dropped on H&R springs with rolled fenders
Will i need camber? what do i need to get these to fit?

thanks! and sorry if this has been asked before, looked around and couldnt find an accurate answer.

You will need camber arms in the front and rear to fit those.

With 225/35/19 in the front and 245/35/19 in the rear, you will have a much easier time if you're not planning to do -3 or less camber.

With H&R springs, you will also probably need a lot of bumpstops to prevent most of the suspension travel since the H&R springs are extremely soft for the height they give.

You will be doing the stretch and poke thing with the tire sizes you chose, and even more stretch on the tire sizes I mentioned.

A local e92 had the exact wheel/tire specs in the front and it blew his plastic fenders in pieces when he was turning and hit a medium sized hole.

And on top of that, you can't really do this whole "stance" thing with just springs. AFAIK, those springs probably have a 0.75" wheel gap in the front which is NOT going to look good with the stretch and poke thing.

If you're not planning to swap to coilovers before doing this, I'd suggest just going with less stretched tires and a less aggressive set of wheels. AKA the typical 8.5/9.5 with a very slight stretch so the tires can fill up more of your wheel well.
