You won't need to roll your fenders because the offsets are high. Unless you're planning to add spacers to get them flush, then, will you need to roll.

offsets and widths are shit to be honest with you mate. if you get them id get some 25mm bolt on spacers all round too.

any offsets where you dont have to touch the guards dont cut it on here. i daily my car with rolled guards, 19x9 +27 19x10 +24 no probs. its not that hard just be a little careful. and my wheels arent even that good fitment either, pretty sunken

If you spend much time on this site you WILL want to sell those within a year and get more aggressive wheels. I'm on my 3rd set in less than 9 months. Fukkin' Wheel A.D.D.

^ i wish i could do that. the market for wheels where i live is so small especially 19s that i would struggle to sell my wheels at decent money to get another set

high offset. yes.
a good thing? in everybodys eyes it might be different.
depends what style your goin for.

but im pretty sure your goin to find some other rims later on that you like.

if those wheels are selling for $900-1200 do it.
then just upgrade later on with something better.

remember rollin stocks is ugly=)

In your case, good cause you don't want tires rubbing, and you won't get that with those sizes.

Here comes that bigg butt....
But like everyone's said, they're terrible sizes if you're lookin for awesome fitment. You ain't gonna rub if you got your set up dialed in. A bunch of us DD our rides, me included. Doesn't mean cause the car is DD, you gotta sacrifice a fat set of wheels, or riding so low. You can't be scared to play the game homie, gotta play it bigg from the start, and you'll be happier you did
