That is a deceptive photo. I had 19x9.5+40 (stuck out 4mm more than that) and they were sunk pretty good.
For perspective, my front was flush at 19x9 +38 (same width you have described). And, the rear wheel well/fender gives you about an inch more play for flush fitment. The rear was not flush at 19x9.5 +40. It needed another 10mm for modest flushness.

so no rolling ur fenders at all? I can step up to a 19x9.5 in the back but won't it look a little wierd if i stick with the 18 in the front? the wheel i'm buying the highest the 18 goes to is a 9". i know mitsu is runnin something similar like that was hoping he had some spare pics i could look at. since he is running TSW's the same brand i'm lookin at.

i have been looking at the fitment guide from some time so that i can buy rims that'll look clean on the car. my front is no prob but for the back i'm running a 18x10; offset +38; tire size 275/35/18. i read that this setting should not require any fender modifications, but the back rubs slightly. problems? i'm running with stock suspension...might have to do some mild roll for the rear

it's gotta be close... you can probably get away with running some negative camber and make it work...

well there is this one, then i chekced the intellexual site...i also went through all 80+ pages to see if anyone is running same setting as i am, but i've been getting mixed reviews. it's not a major rub just the outer tire rubs fender when i drive with 2 ppl and over bumps
anyways thx mitsuguy for prompt reply. car is looking hot. how much drop is that in the front?
