they'll fit when lower your car....its not that much sticking out....when u lower your car, the rear tires will camber in and u can adjust to get your toe in/out and u'll do fine with the rear, as for the front u can lower and shave some inner-fender lining to help u out ( for the rear also if u need to)...b4 u get rid, see wut u can do to let them stay cuz they look sick!!!!

ps.-exactly wut size are they and do u know the offsets also? and wut tires are u runnin???

that is exactly right, you CAN make these fit and they will look even sicker when you are slammed on them. You may get away with just rolling the fenders from the camber, if not- there are alot of places that will be able to pull, shave and strech your fender to fit these!

nice wheels!!! now trust me, slam it, keep them, and confuse alot of people when they cant figure out why your car looks so much better than most modified rides... (wheel fittment can do that you know!!!)

wheel specs:
19x8.5 / 35 offset
235/35-19 Tires

I've already checked out few different shops and they all turned me down. Are there any shops in QUEENS/NY or anywhere in NYC area that can pull this off?

look for a big custom paint, show car type shop- maybe something that does lowriders too. I have gone to a few places that have offered to pull, strech my fenders- one was a custom paint shop that works on alot of drag cars and alot of domestics- Vipers, Vettes, etc... They seemed to have the most knowledge as to what was needed.

that offset isnt that bad anyhows...lower the car, then deal with the issues after...u'll be surprised after u lower the car

these are the Seva wheels, right? In any case they look nice on your car. I'd stay with these and work with the fenders as the others have suggested.
