Default Japan Racing Wheels 19 inch

Hello guys

I need help. Probably someone has already asked this question but i cant find the answer. I would like to buy Japan Racing wheels 19 inch but i am afraid that it will not fit. Currently i have 18 inch factory (F-SPORT) wheels. Front 18x8 with tiers (225/40) and back 18x8,5 with tiers (255/40),i think offset is 40 or 50 but i am not sure , they are factory wheel so probably someone will know what offset they are. The rims i would like to put are 19x8,5 in front with offset 40 and back 19x9,5 with offset 35.I did not lowered my car or do any modification with suspension, it is all factory set up. My question are:

1.Will this wheels fit without rubbing?
2. If not ,can someone tell me what is the best set up for 19 inch wheels so i can pass technical inspection??
3.What width of tires is the best to mount on these wheels?

I am grateful for any help that i get.

Thank you

I dont know how this works in US but here in Europe (Croatia) you have to go to technical centar to change size of wheels so they can wright new dimensons of tires and wheels to youre car papers and you have to pay that ofcourse about 100 Euros!!!

That's not required in the US. We can change pretty much anything on our cars without paperwork.

If your not lowered then your back wheels should be fine, however if you were lowered I would be concerned about rubbing on large dips/ holes

I'm running 275/30/19 rear tires on 19 by 9.5 rims with a 40 offset - I fitted a 35 and it rubbed slightly on big dips and I didn't want to roll my fenders - keep in mind that I'm lowered on F sport springs

As mentioned above if you run a 265 with the offset you have it will be good

I was thinking to put 235/35 in front and 255/35 at back, just to be sure that they dont rub, or is it better 255/30 ???

19x8.5 and ET40 , get 235/35 you won't have rubbing issues.
19x9.5 and ET35, get 265/30 if you are not lowered more than 1". No rubbing issues. The only way I rub is when you go case over dips. And this is when you are lowered.
