We need to know the offsets as well...something in the range of +40 and up you should be fine...

"Fit" can't be determined without knowing the wheels width and offset.

Get that info and we can give you a pretty good idea.

Wheel info is basically 3 pieces diameter, width and offset. For example 18 x 9 +35.

There's also disc or face info, but that usually only comes into play when trying to clear large brake calipers.

Hope this helps.

Wheel: 19x8.5 +30 = 19" diameter wheel, 8.5 " wide and the wheel mounting surface (mounts against the rotor/hub) is 30 mm from the center, as shown in the pic.


Negative offset wheels will have a very deep dish look, but few cars if any can support a negative offset wheel.

I have 235/35/20 Nitto 555's on the front and 275/30/20 on the rear with a +40 offset and I'm lowered on Espilirs (pretty low). They are 8.5" wheels front and back and I had to cut & roll my fenders after getting to a proper camber setting.
