Ive done 9.5 all around but it was in aggressive offset and stretch tires. Plus i was slammed lol it really depends on how low you wanna go. But I think you should be fine!

Hey man I have been looking at the same wheels and the guys over at VarrsToen told me if I wanted to not do a roll and stretch that i could run 19x9.5 +22 all the way around with minimal modifications. Shoot them an email they are fast to respond and pretty helpful.

^ for the 9.5 +22 the rear is going to be pretty sunk... I know this first hand because I got bored one day and test fitted my 10.5 up front and for shizz and giggs threw the 9.5 in the rear. And no I didn't drive around like that lol.
But since your only on eibachs it may be fine and semi flush since you won't have much camber, if any

You'll be fine. It wont be super aggressive or anything like stated. My buddy had similar setup on his GS300 and it looked decent. He was on Tein springs instead of Eibach

@ socal. Not everybody likes spending 2k on rims bro . Especially on some u can get a look alike for cheaper . But fyi im going with replicas because i could sell them after or have an extra set of rims when i feel like changing my cars shoes. . Plus im saving to customize from vip modular . No offense

That setup sounds similar to what I have on the drawing board. Except im trying to figure out if I can run 19x9.5 +22 on all four sides with Euro Tek meshs or Varrs 222.

None taken. Even when I was a young pup I didn't scrimp on wheels; wheels make or break a car (I am a self-admitted wheel snob).

Since they're replicas, why not just buy 'em and try 'em? Back in my day, we were pioneering this type of wheel fitment. I had nobody to ask "will it fit?" I measured and test -fitted... and tested some more. Just sayin'.

$2K? That would get you about 1.3 of the wheels on my GS...
