Default Wheels of an FD to an SC, problems?

Hi guys,

I may have the opportunity to buy a set of wheels from my buddy's FD when he upgrades sometime during next year.

The wheel specs are 19x8"/+23mm offset front and 19x9.5"/+17mm offset.

Are these wheel specs a little outrageous for an SC or will they be able to fit without major fender mods (ie. just rolled fenders as opposed to pulling the guards)?

Thanks guys


Jose

Pity that They would've looked good.

Thanks for the heads up though

they will EASILY fit with rolled fenders.

I have 19x10 +30 with 275/30/19 and they are even a little sunk. Never rubs with rolled fenders and OEM alignment.

just a little heads up, 8" wide wheel with a 23mm offset... well you are going to have a bad case of "bump steering". Up front i have 8.5" with 38mm and i have bumpsteer to an effect, 23 will just be crazy....
