Rim offset

Not a problem at all. In fact, you may want to lower that car after that. I didn't see the tire size but they look like 35's. I suspect you'll have the three finger gap on stock ride height.

yeah they are 235/35/19. according to math, that would be (235*35%*2) + 19*25.4 = 647.1 diameter, which is kinda small, the tires that come with it would be too small right? (just over 3% difference)

I will probably get bigger tires to get close to factory size

Anyway...you will want some 5mm spacer after installing them on your car. The 5mm spacer will bring the +45mm offset rim to a +40mm offset rim. I've bought in the past some 18X8 +40mm and some 19X8 +40mm for my gen 2. Look good...probably +35 mm offset would be even better but I was concern regarding the clearence.

Maybe - depends... I've even looked at going with a 245/40/19 (close to OEM dia but wider) and by calculations, it won't rub any more than I was getting when I put on my current rims. Since I have the camber kit and shaved my fender wells, I won't have any issues. Just need $$ for the new rims/tires. :up:

^^ It's not a "size" - it's merely a set of oblong dia bolts you swap out in the back and it tweaks your camber in on both sides. Do a search for "camber kits". :up:
