What do you plan to do with your suspension? Are you staying stock?

for future reference. here is a typical 19" staggered wheel and tire fitment for a car with stock susp or medium lowering. tires will have no or minimum stretch and be close to flush with fender. will look slightly aggressive but clean and balanced.

front 19x8.5, +35ish, on 235/40/19. rear 19x9.5 or 19x10, +40 to +45ish, on 265/35/19.

Leaning towards h&r super sport springs with bilstein shocks. But still debating on bc coils as well since both are priced pretty close. I dont plan on tracking or anything, dropping mainly for aesthetics.

If you do the H&R you won't be able to do it because you will need negative camber up front to make them work and they don't come with camber plates. If you do BCs you would be able to it with spacers up front, camber all around and mildly stretched tires.

Here is my car on stock suspension.



19x9.5 et37 all around with 255/35/19 tires. I used a 5mm spacer to clear the strut up front and they fit with a SLIGHT poke.



This is why you will need camber up front. The rears at the specs you want can work if you do full -3 and a fender roll.

Here's how she sits now.
Camber is -2.4 all around on BCs.
Front 19x9.5 et27
Rears 19x9.5 et25





I still have about 10mm up front to play with honestly. The rears are tight though. So at 19x10 et30... You will definitely need negative camber, a roll and mildly stretched tires. It just depends on how much you like the wheels and if you're willing to do the work to make them fit.

Happy hunting.
