Help Me Please. Please take a look!
Does anyone know if i get a 19x8.5 inch rim for the front with a 39mm offset and 245/35/19 tire, would it rub the mastergrade fender.The mastergrade fender makes the front fender 10mm wider. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Someone can check my math ...........................
Stock width for an '00 is 6.5" with about 55mm offset. And 8.5" rim with a 245 tire would stick out an additional 1" (25.4mm) on both outside and inside. A 39mm offset is about 15mm less and will shove the rim out by that much. So, now we're up to sticking out by 40mm more than stock. But, you have a fender that sticks out by an additional 10mm. Now, we're down to 30mm of wheel/tire that will stick out further than they should, if you want to keep a similar "tire coverage" as a stock AP1 car.
Also, keep in mind that the AP2 car went to a 7.5" rim (and about the same offset) on the front, thereby making it stick out an additional 1/2" further from an AP1 car. This makes the wheel well look a bit more filled and the AP2 car has no problems with that. So, 1/2" in is about 13mm. In this case, you would stick out 17mm (about just over 1/2") more than an AP2 car.
What do you think? The rest is up to you to decide.

In addition to what xviper said, we know that with stock fenders, a 7.5" wheel with a 48 offset can occasionally rub. At 8.5" wheel with a 39 offset sticks out 22 mm further. So, IMO, a 10mm wider fender ain't gonna do it. You're about 12 mm further out than you should be despite the new fender.
Even if we assumed an 8" wheel with a 48 offset would not rub a stock fender, you're still 15mm further out with your 8.5 @ +39. Still, 10 mm wider on the fender doesn't get you there. So I don't think it's going to work.
