Any more than 1.5 inches and there is some major front fender modifing required.

Including bumper-fender mounting tab, top of fender edge and fender liner...

...when running this setup of 19x8.5 wheel 30mm offset with a 235/35/19 tire.

I am a little cheap after buying the car. But I started modding and I cannot stop. Here's is my dilemma. I want to get the S5:F wheels. But I can't afford to buy new tires so I am thinking of reusing the stock tires. Right now, the stock wheels are staggered and S5:F in 18" only comes in 8.5. Should I get it? Should I not? Is anyone running 18x8.5 on all four by any chance? Would it look weird on the 225/40 tires? I don't know anything about wheels. I just know I like those wheels. Thanks in advance.

IMO, Don't do it. Wait and save up for what you really want, I'm guessing 19's ?

You'll regret it down the road.

I don't want 19". I like the 18". I just want them staggered but not available.
