Thinking about pulling the trigger on some 19's TE37 SL

19x9.5 et 22 265/35
19x10.5 et 22 305/30

What do you guys think? Will I need to roll my fenders on RSR springs?

The offset with those tires will be too aggressive and stick out but I am ALL for the TE37 SL's (just maybe in another offset lol)

Do you think it will stick out too much in the front and rear? I'm most worried about the rear. What offset do you think I should run. I am only going to have it on the RC for less then 2 years and I'm thinking et22 strictly based off of resale.

I haven't seen that wheel size with offset and tire yet so I cant say exactly how much it will stick out but you can try to reference these:

On my car I am running 19x8.5 +35 (245/40R19) and 19x10 +40 (285/35R19). The front is as wide as it can go without hitting our stupid fender liner (on the outer side of the fender). The rear with 285's is as far as it can go without rubbing or hitting on bumps. So basically I made it so I could run an aggressive setup while keeping the car functional for daily driving duty.

Another popular setup is 20x9 +32 (245/35R20) and 20x10.5 +45 (275/30R20).

With that being said, these are RC's running lowering springs and all of them are daily drivers. You can always go coilovers which might give you a little more room but more than likely if you want to run those wheels you're going to need to run tire sizes similar to the stock 235/265's. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the insight. I think I will most likely run 19x9.5 +22 in the rear since I can't find any offset for 19x10.5 higher then 22

I went with 19x9.5 +39 in the rear, to me it looks perfect with the fender.

I went with TSW Bathurst as well, but in 20" silver.
front - 20x8.5 +40 (+15mm spacer) - 245/35
rear - 20x10 +40 - 285/30

Sorry for the bad lighting on the pictures. Took them at dusk.

TSWs wheels are affordable wheels, that are great for the price. My TSW nurburgrings, on the last car, held up to some really serious pot holes without damage (had the for six years). The spin forged TSWs are light and strong.
