boys some of you provided deltails for me of your rim size and offset
as i am ordering custom wheels i thought best to double check my own car
so went to a race shop (specialize in Rally and tarmac rally cars) very qualified folks
anyway we pulled of a front and rear wheel
and there is no way (on my car anyway) that i can fit a 19x9.5 rim
the upright at the front has about 2mm clearance (with my factory 19x9) the tyre is nearly touching as it is, so if i was to come out to a 9.5 inch rim i would have to come about 23mm further out (1 inch nearly) (my et would have to go from 35 to 28 and that will not sit well with my fender at all (maybe this is due to the lower ride height)
could our cars have possibly different components ?
i would have to roll and lip my gaurds to go any bigger, so i have to stick w/ my std wheel size at best i could push it to a 19x9 et 32
just thought i would pass this on
thanks again
john
