I seen the sexiest rims yesterday. I not a 100% sure if they fit though..

The rims are 19x8" witha 19mm offset...

I'm already on srt struts and I would like to know if they fit without any rubbing issues?? what size tire would you suggest?? and would I need wheel spacers??

Help me out peeps..

Rubbin... you might not but the wheels will stick out a pretty good amount from your fender.

Btw... you "saw" the sexiest rims yesterday lol

Sorry I'm in class and I'm still trying to wake up..

Do you think the sticking out would be really noticable or hardly noticable??

Well, on the black car in the front I have 17x7.5 w/ 35mm offset and it sits about even with the outside of the fender. Now... lets do some thinking... your wheel is .5" wider so take .5 / 2 = .25" and right there if your wheel was 35mm offset the wheel would stick out 1/4" more than mine. Take into account the offset difference then which is 16mm (35mm - 19mm) and 16mm = .6299" that brings you up to about .87" farther out than what my wheels stick out which are about even with the edge of the fender

To me... that might stick out too much and not look very good

Compare that to your stock wheels which are 6" wide with 40mm offset and it'll extend out 46mm, thats 1.8 inches.

Put some stock wheels on your car and measure out 46mm. Thats where the wheels would come to.

Shouldn't rub though, it'll only be 4mm closer to the strut housing compared to stock.

whoa... Seems like I'll have to use some fender flares to tuck them...

Think I'll just get them in the 18x8's then...

Thanxs bro.. Really appreciate it..

I believe 45...

Would those be ok??

I see srts run those with 225/40/18.

Those wheels will extend outward 20mm... and they'll also extend inward by 30mm compared to stock wheels. So measure your inside clearance on stock wheels and see if you have AT LEAST 30mm... if you don't think it wont' fit... remember too, tires also extend a little farther out so even if you have just barely 30mm you still run the risk of rubbing since tires tend to be a little wider than the wheels themselves.
