Questions about new wheels I just purchased

Just ordered 18" x 8" Volk GT-Ns from Wheel Warehouse about a week ago. Apparently, they sent my 19" x 9" wheels (originally going with 19" x 8.5" but they said they had none in that size). The offset on the rims they sent are +26. I told the guy exactly what kind of car I had so I assume he knows what offset fits. My question is does anyone out there have 19" x 9" wheels in this offset? or know if this will fit my 2K Max? If they fit, any recommendations on tires and size? Also, H&R springs are on their way. Any help would be great.

Those are going to stick WAYYYY out. Like, really really far. If you lower your car, you will rub like hell in the rear and it will stick out really, really far in the front. I doubt those will work, but you never know...

if you had a Mustang this setup would be great. But sorry to say it will not fix. as ASU said it's going to stick way out and it's going to rub like hell. I believe the lowest offset the Max should have is a +35 mm.

Good luck

Ok, so 45mm is stock. I got 26mm. There's only a 19mm (almost 2 inches) difference. The stock rims sit pretty far in I think. Will the rims stick out more than 1/4" from the fender? I think I could accept anything less than 1/4" out from the fender. It shouldn't rub either with H&R springs since they don't drop very low, right? Thanks fellas

You have two more inches of width plus a 26mm offset. I feel it won't fit. You will be able to bolt them on but will rub when turning and rub the rear fender under load. You can use a 9" rim but have to use a higher offset.
