not a wise fitment on narrow body car. be very careful on the offset.

I have done 11.5's with no problems. Like Arling said though. Offset is crucial. Three piece wheels are about the only choice.

I'm running cargraphic 19x11 in the rear, lowered on H&R coilovers, no rolled lips...looks like it's 62mm offset...tires are 315/25/19 Yoko AVS, which seem to run a little more narrow than most tires so I don't know if it'd rub w/ other brands. I'm getting in some Sport Conti 2s tomorrow, so hopefully they won't rub. Judging by the way the tires wore, you'll probably have to run a lot of negative camber to get them to fit if you're lowered.

The back of the wheel will have the offset stamped into it. It usually starts with "ET".
