Default offset wheels

thinking of buying these set of front 19x9x5 et +12, rear 19x11 et+17

how far out is that gonna stick out?

and lowered on H&R springs, would it look decent?

It will take a lot to get those to fit without rubbing. Major stretching of the tires; pulling/cutting/rolling the fenders. Dropping the car low plus adding negative camber.

put the specs of your wheels you have now and the new wheels and see how far it sticks out and go look at your car. see if it looks realistic

have fun.. it can fit if you want it to.

flush and NO cutting fenders/rolling should not be in the same sentence.

What kind of wheels are they? They would fit nice with a some work. But since you're getting H&R springs, they're not gonna work out.
