they will absolutely fit.

with stock height you can, and should, jump to 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5+22

Rims are the outer section of a wheel, just say'in! The 1/2" you're referring to on the Volks wheels shouldn't make you change tire size. There are many advantages to going with larger tires in the front like better stability and control! Something to consider in your future...Gary

Thanks man I appreciate it. Just one more question. Most of them r 40mm offset. I got brembos so that means ill have to get spacers correct? But honestly i didnt want it stickin out crazy far if i could keep it how it is just add rims thats wat im tryin to do. Im picky lol

Offsets don't make the slightest difference in clearing brembos
Its all about the disk size
That's what you need to find out.

Ok before u get pissed lol 1 more question. I was going to lower my car about 1.2 inches. Just so there is about no wheel gap. So an 18x8.5 rim will fit but i just need the disk size so they dont rub correct?

19s will be a much better look for sure
Most of us on here are rocking 19s or 20s most of the year
And no worries

You do not want any wheel with a 40mm offset, that's sucked in way to far! Check our Marketplace under Private Classified wheels, that's where you can find good deals. Look for wheels that are 19X9 (F) & 19X10 (R) with mid 20 offset, not higher or lower since you intend to lower your ride. It's not a great idea to use spacer if you don't have to!
