Hey guy's I'm planning to get wheels by the end of the year. I was wondering if I'll have trouble fitting 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +20 offset all around. I remember I tried fitting my brother's Scaras that are 19x10 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear (I think the offset was around 20+) and I didn't have any problems fitting it since it didn't have any spacers. I might have needed more camber though to clear it.

My fenders have been rolled already and I plan on stretching the tires a lot (I'm thinking 225/35/19 tires for the rears) I won't have to do anything serious right? I think my rears are already like -5 camber. Since my fenders had been rolled they look a little pulled too, I might go back to the guy that rolled my fenders once I get my wheels.

more like 265/30
225/35 Front 265/30 rear ? on 18" Rim
Why would this be better than 225/35 - 255/35 ?
it'll fit but it'll definitely rub if you're going to go "1 inch above he lip." The front will rub when you turn, the rear will rub all the time if you go that low with those wheel/tire specs. You'll need a roll all around for sure, a pull in the back, maybe a pull up front just to be able to turn lock-to-lock.

My setup:
18x9.5 and 18x10.5 et 15 front and rear.
Tires 225/40 and 255/35 respectively.
Just got it aligned today so I have exact camber numbers too. -3 degrees up front and -2.5 in the back.
Ignore the failed safety inspection. My car was ballin too hard for the first place I took it...
Oh and yes the car is extremely dirty. Sorry I'm not sorry. Hopefully that helps though snakehead.

Honestly, I failed for my suspension being arbitrarily too stiff. They couldn't even give me a real number on minimum suspension travel. They just said the body didn't move "enough" when they pressed down on the rear quarter panel with their hand 
Needless to say, I went to another place that didn't give me any trouble.

It's a yearly thing that Virginia requires. With some of the terrible roads in my town and the amount of time I spend driving it up on ramps it isn't worth going any lower. But the Virginia State Inspection is separate from registration. It's just basically a revenue maker for the state who seems to not favor anything that isn't OEM.

Future,
What kind of fender mods did you have to do for your fitment?
Was it just a roll or did you end up having to pull them?
Your fitment looks the business and im looking at something along those lines also..
