Default Miado Wheels LD1 19" I need all you guys opinion

Hey folks, I am getting a set of Miado LD1 19"X9.5, the guy told me that these would look great with 255/50/19 Scorpion Zero tires. However spacers have to be used, I think a 25mm spacer is necessary as I was told. However, due to these wheels, the wheel guy also told me that they would flare out around half an inch to an inch. What do you guys think, does any of you wheel expert know by exactly how much the wheels would flare out, this is my main concern, thanx.

i looked at those rims before...pretty sweet but i didn't want to use spacers...if the back rims stick out a lil, back passengers tend to walk by and rub up on them leaving dirty marks on their pants and stuff...that's no bueno

But with the setup that I am using, do you know exactly how much is flaring out?

how much the flare out would depend on what width and offset you're using...i used 20x8.5 +44 fr +24bk and the rims/tires are flush w/fender well...9.5 seems awful wide but might not be too bad...

Default Why?

Seems to me that you'll be into a range of "rough riding" with sidewalls that thin. Have a look in the RX gallery at my monotone Rx with 17X8 wheels/tires/spacers.
