I know there are almost 40 million posts on here regarding rim sizes and what fits and what will rub. I feel like I've read through that many anyway so, with my very first post I just want to be sure that I dont have any issues with my first 2 mods.

I have decided to go with the Megan EZ Coilovers (w/ pillow ball mounts, if necessary)..because i hate my 2012 AC stock (4x4) stance and want to eliminate any wheel gap that i can.

I have spotted a good deal (If I act quickly) on a set of 19" wheels, I want to be sure that there wont be any fitment issues. Should I be okay with this rim size: F- 19x8 +35 / R - 19x9.5 +35 ??

Well, I know I want to go low enough to remove as much wheel gap as possible. I would like to have the top of the fender well come down to about the top of the wheel but without a bunch of negative camber, if possible.

Also, I would like the wheels to be as close to flush with the fender as possible. What I want to avoid is buying a set of wheels/tires and then finding out that there isn't enough clearance between them and the suspension.

I hope that makes sense. :crazy:

they will fit but i would recommend rolling you fenders so this way you have clearance and won't have to worry about cutting into your tires. I don't see in issues with fitment though.

I'm currenlty ruuning 19x10 all around with +16 in the rear and +20 in the front.

Awesome news! Thanks for the responses. I am going to go ahead and get the wheels.

Next Step: Do research on how to roll my fenders safely... without damaging the paint. :ohno:
Does this require the inner fender well lining to be removed also??
