Agreed with Cherplex...
Oz, that wheel in the front will be tight bro.. I am running a 19x8.5 +15 and had to roll (and - camber) to get clearance. you will need to roll and pull with - camber and a stretched tire..

been lookin around on various sites, but i cant find a definite answer. I have an idea, but still lookin for some verification here from someone who's ran this size on stock body SC...

will a 19x11" (+18 offset) poke, or be flush with our rear stock fenders?

whats a lot? about 1" or 2" poke?

my rears are currently rolled flat and pulled/flared out an 1".....so i'm taking an educated guess that i might be able to execute the 11's out back with some tire stretch and 3*(or so) neg camber.

Currently my rears are about flush with the fenders. Wheels are 18 x 11.5 et 51.
With the rears you listed, you have about a inch poke compared to these.

my 18x12-1 poke by about .5-1" with a 1" flare and max camber on stock adjustments.

Your 19x11+18 will stick out about 1.25"(32mm) less than my rims based on the widths/offsets alone so it should be easily doable

when you say 1 inch flare...do you mean a "pulled" flare? i'm just tryign to visualize what you're saying so i can draw a better conclusion.

this is the flare im workin with..


*edit, i just looked at your pics and saw the pull u have..

thanks, your feedback helped me a lot ,especially since i saw that your barrels were wider and offset lower. makes me a lot more confidant that i can pull these 11's off.

^, It will poke more than the +18. The lower the offset the more the wheel will sit away from the mounting surface.

damn i was really liking the xxr 526 20x11 with that 5.5" lip but not willing to do any crazy work..a roll/pull is fine but that doesnt seem like itd be enough.
