will 19 x 8 fit with konis and coilovers
or will only 19 x 7 fit... i want them bad but am scared that they will not fit and have not been convinced that they will fit yet-- theres only one that said they do but he would not respond to my email -- and brent has 19x7 and says no to the 8inch --will they or wont they and if it rubs on the inside then can i put spacers-inside like 1/4 inch ones? but will they be too wide for the fender if its tucked up?????????
someone has to have some education on this --ive had many more people tell me that they would not than they will fit-- but i want to hear that they will --

19x8 will not fit! dont go thru the hassle of constanly worrying how u spent all this money on wheels and tires but they dont fit! the 19" profile is very tall to begin with, coupled with the width of the 8" it will jus be to wide.......im down on GC coilovers and its tucking all of the rear tires (225/35/19) on the 19x7 with a 42mm offset.......and let me tell u that fit is VERY VERY tight, i even had to do a lil bangin in the rear well so i had absolutley no rubbing......but there is no room for spacers or wider rims or tires......play it safe.....

Hey were you talking about me not reply'n to your email if so email me again b/c i didnt get it. sorry

XbaggedTour what is your SN stand for? are you on air or what?

My 18x8's have been known to rub so I would bet that 19x8 would rub like hell!!

I was on air but sold the setup not happy with the ride. I am working on a new setup that should do much better.

Hey brent did you just say you guys switched to the GC kit on the SE?? Let's have recent pics of that baybe, I love your silver 'tour!

What did you have to bang?? The little metal slit on the inside of the fender?

GC are on the SVT with the 19x7's........
