im not planning on doing a bbk so ill be fine, so if i have to pull out the fender in the rear does that mean repainting it too...or is it possible to pull it without damaging the paint? also should i think about maybe lookin for a set of rims with better offsets...what do you guys think

Pulling the fenders is a little tricky and most of time it requires repaint to get it absolutely perfect, but I've seen fender pull before that didn't need to be repainted. If you want to stay on the safe side and just shave the fenders, get something in a 9 and 10 with mid 20s offset. Those AME Shallens on the same site will have that result.

when you say shave the fenders flat do you mean like cutting them off on the inside??? hmm the more im thinkin about it maybe i am better off lookin for either 19x8.5 and 9.5 with like low 20s offsets or like you said the ame rims that have a higher offset...i like the amount of lip but i would hate to have rubbing issues, most body shops can roll fenders right??
Yes, you can either cut off or roll in the inner lips on the fender wells. And a very experienced wheel shop will know more about rolling fenders than a bodyshop.

19 inch wheels
Hi 2FiVE8:
I'm running WEDS Kranze ERM's in 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rears. I'm running Nitto 245x35x19 front and 275x30x19 rears. I lowered the car 1.5 inches running Tein CS coilovers, Daizen sways and TRD strut brace. No problem with rubbing unless I have 4 people in the car and hit a big bump. Even then it rarely happens. Mind you, I'm not slammed as some of the cars, but I am a little older and don't want to keep repairing bumpers.
