You can do anything as long as front and rear match.

You need at least 10 mm spacers but I would go with 15 mm with rolled fenders. Try b2designs he's one of the vendors here with pretty competitive prices. He's a good guy.

I think you should be fine. I'm running 9.5" +25mm offset, slammed... and I JUST had to roll my fenders a little. But you can always measure the distance from your wheel to the fender (parallel to the road, of course) and see how much you can space them out. But at this height, I wouldn't even worry too much.

thanks man i've been driving for a couple days with the 19s on and only rub when i make a sharp turn. i check the tires and see no visible rubbing marks so i'm guessing it's hitting the liners?

I've never seen 19's look so small.

Looks nice though.

Non-staggered makes rears look small. Spacers should help.

Most likely. I have holes in my fender liners from rubbing. haha

Like this rim. cordon makes the same rim, but I like the center caps you have.. I'm still waiting on the cv1's..

Good for you!
