rims width question

i found some rims that i would like to put on my car but unfortunately they are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 just wondering if they would fit if if i pounded out the fenders a little?

depends on the offset....larger offset the more they will be tucked into the fenders....generally 10.5" IMO is too big 9.5" is stretching it as well IMO

I think those are going to be way too wide. I have 8" w/ 33mm offset and they are a bit wide. What's the offset on them?

you might get away with 10s but you'd definately need to stretch the fenders out, biggest issue would be tie rods, etc, becuase you'd likely want the 10's up front(FWD)
consider a skyline usually has 10s to 10.5s and look at the fenders

personnaly i wouldnt put different sized rims on a street car unless it was RWD, but I also know you are going to have problems putting a rim of that size and offset on this car, did you get teh rims for cheap, are you just looking at getting them off another car? either way if you want those rims on this car it's gonna take some work.

You're better of getting wheels that actually fit your car. Those don't. Choose again.

Well I have 19/8.5 with a 38 offset and they are fine. The back rubs with weight in the car. I have 245 35 19 tires on them also. They are fine. I hope the tires are not to wide when I drop the car. But I didn't knock the rear fenders in yet.

As you said, you already have a rub with weight in the car. If you drop that car, you will have serious issues if you are already rubbing. Also, he said his offest was +15 and +25. You have 13mm more offset than those wheels the OP is considering. If he has those tires and drops the car, problems will ensue with rubbing as well as having the susension geometry badly thowed off.

That 1" in width and 8mm in offset make a big difference

Well for the rubbing problem that i have is from driving in New york city pot hole city streets. The outside part of my tire rubbed the rear fender. The inside is clear with no rub marks in the wheel well. When I drop the car next month, I would let you know what da deal is. If your worried about 19 inch wheels, Ask someone that has 20's with a drop how there car rides.

lol. I knew you meant that! I didn't even see that myself till now. that’s not what i meant. I just put the 350Z wheels on my car, with 17x8 all around. and it looks good. I am just wondering if I can fit wider rubber than 235/45/17 on them? IMO the 235/45/17 are perfect on the speedo though!

i noticed a louder, stiffened ride switching from 16's to 17's, I feel bad for you guys with 18's+. I am not going up in size. 17's are a perfect balance between comfort/looks/ and most important performance in my opinion for the max.
