Congratulations- love the lip!! Black centers are HOT right now, especially here in L.A....

A front 19x9 +44...? Yikes, that's going to be right on the suspension upright!
The highest offset I've done w/ 19x9 is +38... I would test-fit these carefully!!

hot
It is going to look good

SocalSC4 is saying that offset might be too high for the width...therefore, the wheel/tire may rub on the suspension components

I hope it wouldn't happen.. we'll see.. is there anything I could do if they do rub the suspension?

Guys, thanks a lot for the compliments ; I can't wait any longer either... I just got the dunlop sp 9000 and ready to mount.. oh yeahhh...
I hope I could post the pic by next week..

I fully trust Bob's expertise in this department, but this time I'm leaning forward on him being wrong (sorry Bob, no offense)... that way it will make life easier for all of us: me, bro, Will...
Til we got the wheels installed, I'd just pray and cross my finger...

I had +44 18x8.5 on the front before. It would rub the wheel well inside plastic liner when turning the steering wheel all the way to one side.
