wheel question: 19x10.5 on a sedan?

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.

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.

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".
But the vip stance looks soo coool
