Rims:18x9.5+38 (work d9r's)
Tires: 255/45 OR 245/35
Suspension:Airlift
Fenders:rolled and pulled
Fitment want: While hard parked i want to be fender to lip or very close to it, i do not want the rims to be tucked,. when at ride height i would like to be taking advantage of a meaty setup to demolish some mountain runs with a 255 or 245. (there can be a little poke idc.)
please tell me im crazy to want both. or give me some knowledge if i can achieve this.
here are some examples but not examples
This guy has my specs but has 225/40 tires. and his rears are god awfully tucked. the fronts are acceptable to me I know this is flared and the specs are +23 with 225s but i want this look while hard parked... can i achieve this with 255s or 245s?

Reason: title and paragraph
It's simple : you can't get both, if you're talking about the actual stance boi fender to lip fitment and actual MEATY setup. You need to stretch the tire for stance but the tire protrude over the lip for meat. Ot depends on what you prioritize : a 245 will have the stretch you want but definitely won't be ideal for a sportier behavior. Personally, i think you should go with 255/35. You're gonna get a little stretch and shouldn't ruin to much of you're handling. Now slap'em on and adjust camber accordingly.
Actually, if you have the rims on hand, slap on one in the front and one in the back. Take pictures while aired out and at ride height. You can lower the car with wood blocks under the naked rims.
I guess it all depends on how much they camber in when the car is all the way down. Not sure if there is actually a way to figure that out. Both of the cars pictured look terrible to me especially the blue one. Why is there such a large gap in the rear while the front is nearly touching the fender? Makes me think he didn't install the flares correctly.
