Default 19x12 what to plan for

SO my plan is to run some 19x12 ccw sp500s with some michelin ps2 345/30/19s in the rear. Tire is 27.2" tall according to michelin.
My fenders are already rolled.

1)Will I have to minitub or might I be able to get away with some BFH?
2)Am I going to have issues with my LCAs?
3)And also what is the ideal backspace? Don't want the hill billy look or the wheels tucked. Want them in line with the fender.

The answers to these questions aren't entirely clear to me after doing some research.

SmokedoutZ28 has some 17x12s on his ride without tubbing as far as I know. They don't stick out and don't tuck in either. 19s would look amazing, but tires are way too much for my LOL

You should be able to do it, just make sure you get the backspacing right and you will be golden So heres my answers:

1.Probably without mini tub, but most likely BFH mod
2.Should be ok, PM Smokedoutz28 IMO
3. 8"? (the TT2s are 11" wide and have 7.75" of backspacing)

12's fit with the right offset and BS. Trust is running 17x12 Fikses with 335/35R17 Hoosiers with MINOR mods.

Being you are thinking CCW's, you can pretty much order them however you want.

I tend to agree. I'm not into the BFH mod. But for intensive purposes, the BFH mod, tubular lca's, and the adjustible panhard should do the trick. For stock backspaced 19x12s, it probably isn't cost effective to do a bunch of chopping and cutting.

..and Slammed1500 did some tubbing action here:
