    id say just throw the biggest spacers you can on there as long as you dont rub, you cant do any better than that and you will have sweet looking tires pokin out the well

    Not true. I had 15mm spacers on my car and most people said it looked like shit with my BBS CHs. Not even paying attention to the rim, it was too wide for my taste.

    I'd go for 10mm spacers if I could do it again.

    depends on the offset. I'm rocking 10mm in the front and 20mm in the back on 19x9.5's, clearing the control arms isn't a problem/ I had to pull my fenders pretty fucking hard to fit though.

    I know this is one hell of a thread revival... however, wdbody2000s4 (woody?)

    I have a question for you with regard to the fitment you mentioned above. I'm looking into buying a set of 19x9 using 235/40/19's.
    The only reason I ask is that I saw you said you were running 19x9.5's, is that on your non-widebody?

    Oddly enough this thread just showed up as a recent topic.

    http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...-wheel-fitment

    I forgot to mention the offset, it's a (+20 to +28) or a (+20 and +28). My primary concern aside from the offset, (which I think I can get away with using spacers), is the tire size I'm choosing. I want a larger sidewall than the 89mm offered by the 225/40 series. So I figure if I can run the 235/40-19 stretch it 1 inch (ie: standard fitment [8.0 in] to [9.0 in]) which will reduce the overall height of the sidewall a little but not down to 89mm mentioned earlier (my thoughts, I'm not sure if that is correct).
