Volk TE37 SL drilled for 14mm studs with hub adapter 19x9.5 +22
Federal Evoluzion f60 tires 265/35/19 (these are actually 269 width)
KW V3 Coilovers- Car has a 1 finger gap
Eibach front and rear sway bars
Vorsteiner Copy aero kit
Schroth Quickfit Pro harness
Ceramic coat and tint
Chrome Delete
No Fender work and no rubbing issues (which is surprising given the offset and wide tires)
hey this looks really good. do you have any poke in the front wheels? any profile pictures?

The hub ring came with the wheels which I got from a member here, no idea what brand or where its from.

What’s the ideal offset for a 10” for a 275?
No issue if you have a particular wheel you want that only comes that way. Use the fitment calculators @ Fitment Industries to get a visual of the difference to be expected compared to a reference.
I've always changed diameters and tires so I can't relate exactly, but in principle, if all size/tires are the same, a lighter weight wheel allows the damper to work more efficiently which equals a better ride and more mechanical grip.

Another aspect of this is that open design results in slight loss of range (but better brake cooling) and reduction in weight results in slightly faster 0-60 times, in most cases the acceleration change won't be perceptible and the range loss won't be significant

If you read the last 147 pages I'm sure you will find a few cases of users that did just that, in general .. as long as the tire you use support that size (most do) its going to be fine. Additionally, when you go narrow you tend to improve your ability to traverse mud and snow on the expense of asphalt grip (as in, taking a turn at high speed). You also reduce rolling resistance a little which improves Wh/mi efficiency.
From what I've gathered on here. Performance Model hubs (P-HUB? lol) allows ~5mm of extra space than SR/LR models.
That depends on what rotors you have, and whether you are talking about front or rear.
In front, to fit a 275 you will need to move the wheel and tire outboard to clear the front spindle - probably with the stock (thin hat) performance rotors, you would need to have no more than a 30 mm offset. Add 5 mm to that if you have aftermarket or non PUP front rotors. I have 265/30 fronts, and RB (aftermarket and thicker) rotors, and a 40mm front wheel offset wheel just clears with 2-3mm to spare, so you are going 10mm wider in toto, and would need to recoup half that space (5mm) to fit the wheel and tire combo without any danger of rubbing. Before you mount, check clearances with a bare wheel, and make sure you allow for the section width of the tire in terms of that front suspension spindle, as the tire section is going to be a bit wider than the outer flange of the wheel, in this case. Once you mount the tire, you own it.
If this is about fitting a 275 at the rear, as Emily Lattella would say . . . ."Nevermind" - you have tons of space, and can easily fit 40-45mm offset wheels. Just aim to not move the scrub radius too radically.
That is correct, the rotor hats are a little thicker on the non-P so the wheels will sit closer to the fender!
