My shop suggests to go with below to be safer

19x9 +31
19x10 +32

Im willing to stretch and roll fender, def. no pull, and i have coils to adjust height.

Will the first specs work? Thanks in advance.
go with 19x9 and 19x10, with 31 and 32 you should be fine if fenders are rolled!

Thanks for the reply. Do you think i can go anymore aggressive with only roll? Dont want to stretch too much btw..i can go any offset with this set of wheels thats why im asking the question.

Thanks again!

roll the rear fenders. the fronts should be fine.

225/40-18 + 235/40-18

the offset is fine, as long as you modify your fenders to fit and choose the right tire sizes.

you're going to have the same frontspacing for the front wheels. only the backspacing will increase. this will allow you to run slightly-wider tires.

19 x 8.5 +23 -> 215/35-19
19 x 9 +31 -> 225/35-19

regardless, either set-up will require modified fenders.

btw, if you roll your fenders, they're going to be slightly pulled from the natural forces exerted onto the fenders by the fender roller.

Thanks for the reply, I have decided to go with the spec below and roll my fenders

19 x 9 +26 -> 225/35-19
19 x 10 +29 -> 255/35-19

Am I correct on the tire size?

If I run 18/35/255 in the rear with rolled fenders would that still work? I'm trying to keep the Rollin diameter as close a possible because of the AWD system

255/35-18 won't have enough of a stretch on 18x10 for you to clear the fenders given the +20 offset. you can try 245/40-18 if you want to keep the oem rolling diameter closer.

other alternatives:

1. go with a square wheel-tire set-up
2. go with higher offset in the rear

thanks for the input, probably gonna go with the 235/40 since its closer than the others if not 255/35

Just wanna give a big thanks to you guys for helping me/us out.

Just installed 235/35/19 on my 8.5" wheel + 255/35/19 on a 9.5" .. I am really surprised how similar it feels to the stock 17" setup , was expecting ride to be much stiffer but it was really ok .

Guess my Bridgestones on the 17" were too hard , I installed Federal tires btw on the new wheels.

would i be ok with just a fender roll ? cause i dont wanna mess around with the plastic liners in my wheel wells etc. also what tire size do u reccomend for this set-up? Im new to this whole thing and dont really wanna modify my fenders other then a fender roll, worst case i'll shop for new wheels, i just really like the ones and they only come in the said offsets +22 or+30

fender rolling = modifying your fenders. your fender liners will have nothing to attach to, since the tabs along the fender edge will be rolled flat. you can either mickey-mouse the fender liners to get them to hold up and away from the tires, trim the unattached portion off, or remove the fender lining altogether.

for 19x9.5/10.5 +22, you'll need rolled + lightly-pulled fenders. typically, the force exerted by the fender roller onto the fender from the inside will effectively "pull" the fenders out slightly.

for tire sizes, 225/35-19 and 245/35-19, though depending on how much of a light pull you have on your rear fenders you can run 265/30-19 as well.

on a related note... let me guess, you're looking at varstoen wheels?

19x9.5/10.5 +22 is a pretty common wheel spec set-up for varrstoen wheels.

try using the search function to find out what other varrstoen owners did to make the wheels fit.

I ran a set up pretty close to this... 9.5 +23 / 10.5 +21. Just roll the rears and take a heat gun to the front fender liners. Also I had megan camber arms in the rear too...With a 225/35 245/35 tire setup to get it all decently flush. Good luck
