Default Need help with wheel fitment

Will a 19x9.5 and +20 offset in rear work? I do not want to rub or anything. I plan on using 255/35/19 tires in the rear.

You will rub a lot unless you roll, pull fenders and even shave down the tab that connects fender with bumper... And you will also need upper control arms from either spc or megan racing... i did all the above with a 19x10.5 +22 wheel and running -4.7 camber. How low are you wanting to go?

I am not wanting to lower at all just wondering if i will rub with that offset. I have read where some people have a 9.5" wide wheel and do not rub or anything. Will that offset stick out to far? If i have to do any mods i will just get the +35 offset.

9.5" +20 in the rear will most likely need a roll. +35 would be a better offset if you're absolutely against any fender mods

Correction...rear wheels are 19x8.5 with+20 offset. That should be about the same as 9.5 with higher offset right?

If you are not lowering they will stick out like crazy not sur how it'll look but ten again they are only 8.5 wide so may look decent without lower and some beefy tires
