Ok guys here is the good the bad and the ugly.....
The good .. The xxr 527 8x8.75 + 20 front had a Yokohama yk580 234/45/18 they fit no issues turns lock to lock no rubbing on bumps all good....
The bad...xxr 527 9x9.75 +20 rear fit great no issues in fitment for the rim. Now here is the bad part they put 245/45/18... On a flat surface it was all good no problems until you hit bumps and uneven pavement the fenders ate those tires for breakfast. Lmao! Brought it right back than the stuck on Goodyear gt 245/40/18 made a huge difference except when I had to turn or go over a speed bump. So here is where I'm at. I'm going to roll & pull my rear fenders. Hopefully this will fix the issue if not I'm going to re install my stock springs and save up for some coilovers. So close yet so far.
Yes I could have stretched some smaller tires but I'm all about safety IMO this was the right choice for me! But I will not be denied stance I refuse to give up! If you guys have any advice I'd sure like to hear it. Sorry guys I tried but I can assure you one thing the rims fit flawlessly so make the right tire choice for your needs

245/45 are a def NO NO, keep the 245/40 plus i believe its closer to the stock rolling diameter. you could try 245/35 but the ride quality will suck ballz.
Try rolling fenders first!
I am impressed that fronts are fine because front fenders require half an inch less to flush!
Im gonna roll fenders on mine before i ever try any wheels on lol
the wheels i want:
front: 19x9, +47 with 245/40/19
rear: 19x10, +30 with 275/35/19
the problem is it will the 0.7 inches bigger in diameter!
oh man it will be a pain to fit em

Well the fender rolling worked out they fit perfect there was no more rubbing. However I chose to uninstall my eibach sportlines and reinstall my stock springs because I'm going to purchase some coilovers for an even better stance also purchase some Goodyear gt 235/40/18 for the front tires. Here is how she sits now. I will post better pics later its raining right now rims dirty 
but they fit!
Rear poke
