Default Will a 9.5 +40 offset fit in the rear?

Hi guys I'm new to the site and just ordered a pair of 19's.
Axis Super Penta 19" x 8.5" +35 for front
and 19" x 9.5" +40 in the rear. I'm just wondering If the 9.5 +40 offset will fit
Thank you

is your car lowered? it's very close to the fender, but i think you should be ok unless you have big fat tires in the rear.. you can get away with minor fender mod IF it's rubbing..

My rear tire is a 275/30ZR/19 and lowered on Tein S-techs. Will that be alright?

My rear rims are 19x9.5 +45 and they rub. I have to trim my fender a little bit.

Yours are close because the drop & +40 although the tires are right-on spec.

Why? Did you lower too much? With coil-over your ride height should be easily adjustable to prevent rubbing. I have the exact wheel size/offset and tire size as yours & mine is slightly lowered and no rub.

I didnt lower that much...There is close to 1 finger space left. Before trimming the fender, I have to raise the rear in order to avoid more rubbing.
