Sigh ... I wish he was selling them 19x9.5s ... then I wouldn't have to go through with spacers and such.

you wont rub with this set up and yes you can run a spacer in the rear to push it out. really you are better to get a set that you want. IMO get a wider rim and the right offset for the car. This is a good set up for AWD owners that dont want to get a staggered set up. It will work if you want them that bad. I would get a 9.5" wide rim for the rear if you are going aftermarket. You will appreciate the ride and how the car handles.

It seems like 19in. TE37s are really hard to come by. I'd rather purchase them used than to buy them new since I'm sure there's a long waiting list AND they'd be a lot more expensive.

So say if I don't care about the absolute flush look to the fender ... would running a non staggered setup affect the ISx50? Since the stock 18s are staggered.
thanks for the patience guys!

+22 is very aggressive for the 2IS. If you are even slightly worried about rubbing, I would not go that aggresive. If you do, you will have to stretch your tires and get the fenders cut/shaved. I highly advise you not to pull/roll on our cars though. I've seen some bad outcomes from it. Even all the shops I've been to so far, refused to roll on my car. 19x8.5, 19x9.5 with about +35 front and back is popular since it's pretty much the most you can go without shaving.
