If I was you...I'd go wider than 8.5 on the rear. I'd do 10 or 10.5.

Yeah I don't think you can do that. We are talking sedan right? As for offset that would vary with wheel width. With my 8.5's the most aggresive I could go was +35. I'd pm Chico (or give it an hour and he'll show up). He's the fitment guru.

You can hit the 20's on there if you want. Speaking of Chico he has some 20" Milano's he may want to sell.

The ideal set up for a sedan is front 19x8.5 +35 offset w/ 245/35/19 and rear 19x9.5 +45 w/ 275/30/19. This will give you a nice clean flush and agressive stance.

The most agressive you can go in the rear is 19x10 +45 offset, w/ 275/30/19. If you go larger you'd have to roll or cut the inner fenders.

You will have major problems if you have the X. You CANNOT stagger with this car.

Check out big_daddy's car. He has 19x8.5, +35 w/245/40/19 and the car looks perfect.

Thanks ChicoWent in today for my first oil change. Came out to find four mechanics looking at my setup all nodding their heads approvingly. Service manager comes out to check it out while we're all talking. Feelin good - feelin strong.
I love the knowledge base on this site. Made it possible.

Is that Robson D? Are you in Vancouver?

OK First piece of advice:
Chico is very knowledgable in this area. If you want him to share that knowledge always, always, always,call him Chico, and not ChicKo.

Secondly: yes that will work.
BUt just the same double check with Chico.

And do some searching gawdammit. If nothing else you'll see lots of cool rides.
