mr gsr Member 46 Member For: 16y 11m 14d Posted 10/07/09 09:46 AM Share Posted 10/07/09 09:46 AM I run a 18x9 with a 38 offset on the rear of my car.. with 275 rubber.. fit fine with no guard lipping.The issue you have is the rim will hit the mount of the blade... I cant even fit my finger between my rim and the blade there.. yet you will be adding 6mm extra rim to start with, then another 7mm of offset.......45 offset might be ok on a 19 though....
