Hi angelica! Welcome! It should fit i know 19X8.5 with 43 offset will fit perfectly. with 245/40/19 tires or if you like really low profile get 245/35/19 That IS A RELLY NICE WHEEL BUT TOO EXPENSIVE YOU MUST BE LOADED!

definitely too low of an offset, will push the wheels too far out. stock offset = +45. just keep in mind, given the same width of wheel, the smaller the offset number , the farther out the wheel will go. the bigger the offset number, the wheel will be pulled closer to the strut/wheel well. add any extra width on top of that and you go half that number extra in either direction.

example: 7.5" wheel width for stock premium wheels. new wheels are 8.5" wide with +40 offset. new wheels will go an extra 5mm away from the car (inboard and outboard) due to the offset PLUS 12.7mm from the additional wheel width in either direction. so.....outboard side= 12.7+5=17.7mm farther out. on the inboard side they are 12.7-5= 7.7mm closer to the strut/wheel well

quickie math lesson

I've had a set of Volk GTS wheel on order for about 8 weeks now and should see them by the end of August. The specific size I'm going to run is 19x8.5 +34 all around with 245/40-19's. It'll be very close but a few guys are running similar offsets and oversize tire diameters on Eibachs without rubbing. We'll see, if anything I'll roll the lip.

Right now I'm running 19x8 +45 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR's and there's a lot of clearance.

Will be posting pictures as sson as they're on.

You're most likely gonna have to roll the lip... We had to do this with the volks on the z... when we took them off the z, the wheel size I mentioned earlier were sooo wide! It would look good though. Post some pics as soon as you get the wheels! Can't wait to check out
