they have the Montage listed as a 19x9.5 w/ a 35 offset; would this cause any problems?

And thanks for all your help!

10.5s are definitely out of the picture...i think a 9.5 w/ a 35 offset would work

Very close. I would bet a +38/39 would rub. When I get everything fixed again I'll take some pics.

These are the best one I have right now:

Yeah a +40 should fit with a roll/cut. I have 20x10 +40 and they clear with rolled fenders but they are very close.

maybe u can squeeze 10.5 in there..just stretch the tire a bit..add some neg camber, roll the fender...and you'll have yourself a semi vip g35 sedan..

Very good idea. The 9.5" is still the best overall size for the rear given the offsets most places make.

what do you mean by 'stretch the tire'? I've already got a set of ARC coilovers i bought off a member, would that help w/ the neg camber? Sorry for the newbie questions, i'm really new to this stuff.

thanks Tim...I would bet 10" +35 with a bit more negative camber than yours will fit.

Those pics are without a camber kit (-1.9) and bad traction issues, it would not be worth it. After my camber kit and going up in height a little I have way better traction.

It is when you put a narrow tire on a wide wheel. Negative camber is hard on your tires. Go with the 9.5".

I like the more square tire look. I don't like how my rears look but I don't have an option.

I think the slight stretch on your rear tires, make the wheel stand out and it looks awesome.
