I'm about to run 19x8.5 +32 offselt ... I'm pretty sure those will fit without fender modification. If anyone can chime in that would be great. I too am not sure if 19x8.5 +32 will fit without fender rolling.

They will fit at stock height with slight riub in the front. They wont rub in the back unless you got two 200 pound men sitting there. If you plan to drop it on eibach springs you will have to roll the fenders and thats not such a big deal. I would buy them if your getting a good deal!!
