Default Finally decided on the wheels I'm getting

Ok, I've finally decided to get 19" Volk CE28N Formula Editions. Ordered it from Upgrade Motoring for $3300. Here's the set up:

Front: 19 x 8.5 +35
Rear: 19 x 9.5 +45

Question: I'm currently lowered on Eibach Pro Kit, can I go with a +36 or +38 offset on the rear wheel for a more aggressive look without rolling my fenders? Or is that impossible?

Also, does anyone have pics of these wheels on their ride? If so, please share! Can't wait to get mine!

What tire are you going with in the rear? That's one huge factor that will determine whether you will rub or not.

How were you able to get them? I tried to get them around mid December 2008 and was told production ended.

Can I go with a 275/30/19 or does it have to be 265/30/19?

you could go with 275/30 with no rubbing at that kinda offset if i'm not wrong... without rolling fenders... but to be safe go with 265/30 no rubbing there... yeah...

the wheel doesnt look as big as it should, because of the wheel design.
