Poyet, when you first had shown me that pic of the white on scaras, I thaught it was just a random pic from Japan.

I would have never thaught they were being test fitten on your car

that's crazy 19x10+29 fronts

The 18x11+22 will stick out about 14mm(just a little over 1/2inch) more than your set up(19x10.5 +29) in the rear.

its obvious after hearing everyone elses response that your wheels basically cant be sticking out as far as you say they are. 5 inches? come on bro. if you want people to help you with an issue like this dont waste peoples time first off post a pic or two, and second get accurate about how far out these things are actually poking out of your fenders so people can actually help you with correct information.. seriously buddy, your wheels sticking out of your car almost half a foot? nah. lol

Hehehe, it's sticking out 4-5 inches because your car was still sitting up high on the jackstands and you just did a makeshift measure? You do know when you lower the car, your car will naturally have a bit of neg. camber and you will "lose" half of your problems already. A bit more negative camber, shave clean the inner lip of your fenders or maybe even a bit of a pull should solve your problems.

it will need paint and all only if it's a big pull.

for mild pulls, you can get away with no paint work.

welcome to CL, where in TX are you at?

you're going to try to fit rims that poke out 4 inches in the rear and keep it stock looking at the front? that is really going to look weird.
