yet another wheel question

i've got a 04 sedan and was wondering if 19x8.5 +30 will fit on the rear if i run stretched tires. i used to have a 240 so i'm used to going with +5 offsets and such to get big lip. i'm not too familiar with doing so with such high offsets.

Is the car lowered? What about rolled fenders?

I used to run 19x8.5 with +35 all around. My car is lowered and the fenders have not been rolled. For the rear it would clear my 245/40 Michelin PS2's by maybe 1mm or 2mm.

Depending on the tire you go with, it should work ok, lowered or not. Rolling your fenders would be ideal though.

That is going to be very close.

I know the 18x8" +30 coupe wheels come close and may rub if you are lowered.

As for the lip, you are not going to find those huge lips for the sedan because you need such a high offset.

One of the largest lips I have seen are the 10" wide Sevas and TSW's with the curved spokes. A +40 will give you ~3.5" lip.

i read something about different disks like for the works. would that help me to not have to want to get such a low offset? thanks for all the info guys. i'm not planning on lowering for a while. when i do i'll probably get air ride or something. i've done lowered **** my whole life and am tired of scrapping everything so this will way i'll be able to squat it out when i park and pick it back up to drive off.

No idea on this one. It is a physical limitation of the car and wheel so I don't know how you get around it without a widebody kit.

O-disc bro, it'll give you a slightly larger lip when compared to the other discs at the same offset.

This only works with non big brake kits though. So if you're thinking about upgrading your brakes in the future, plan accordingly.
