Default Wheel qustion.

I'll be getting a set of wheels next month. I'm thinking of 19x9.5 +38 in the front and 19x10.5 +35 in the rear. Is this fitment good to near perfect? No fenders will be rolled and I'm currently running on OEM springs but I will be getting coils in a few months. Thanks in advance guys.

From one noob to another, my advice to you would be to take a long detailed look at the wheel thread to really understand what your looking for, as far as offset, wheel and tire sizing, drop and associated trade offs for the fitment you're looking for. I read that thread, of 60-70 pages, a few times to get what i needed. Trust me, its good to get feed back on fitment from these guys as far as yes/ no answers, but you will feel much more confident about your own selection at the end of the day. with that said, I'm sure many of the board vets will chime in to answer your questions.

With those offsets you'll need to rolled up fronts and shaved in the rears but it's all depends on tire sizes and how low you wanna go.

I got some help from a sales rep on the wheels I'll be getting. 19x9.5 + 38 in fronts and 19x10.5 + 40 in rear. I' ll get coils and roll fenders if needed. Thanks for the info guys.
