what kind of look are you going for? hellaflush?

the offset is pretty aggressive. you will need to run a skinny tire and massage the fenders to make fit.

Yes it will fit, but, 19"s limit the look you get, depending on how low you want to go...
Are you on coilovers, springs, stock height?

With 19" you can only do a slight/moderate drop. (2" - 2.5", maybe even 3" drop....)
You will have to put sideskirts and body kit to make the car look lower like baadhabit & my car.
If you roll with 18's you can slam the car hard and be really hella flush and super low even without a bodykit.

Just depends on what kinda look you are going for.....
