Default offsets??

i'm looking for a new set of wheels right now, and my question is.
Will the 19x9.5 wheel with a 15 offset fit in the back of my car? The company told me i should go with 35 offset, but i want the wheel to sit flush with the fender. If i have to trim the rear fender i will. Let me know what u guys think.

You can make it fit, but it will take some fender work and stretch tires.

275s on a 9.5 in rear will not run stretched. i'm on 10s in rear on 275s and its not stretched. +15 in rear is really aggressive. do some research, i'm not a wheel pro, but you may need some pretty good fender work (as the Fonz mentioned) and some really stretched tires (GL there).

just curious, are you on air?

Those might even fit w/o fender mods, but if it does, atleast you're willing to do so.

there are many wheels in the sale section with offsets that are like your requesting .. to avoid new wheels but if you do

its a huge plus to know you are willing to do the mods ..

also look in the VIP section for fitment questions too

I will check out the VIPsection. I don´t want to shave the fenders but if they will fit with rolled fenders that´s OK.
