That will work just fine. I have 19x11 51 offset with a 305/30/19 tire, dropped on coilovers, and no rubbing.

this member has 15 mm spacers on the rear which make it a 52 mm offset or just about widebody wheels on NB

The wheels have to be 11" wide for the 51mm offset too work. People that say it doesn't fit are the conservative types because most will run offsets in the 60's. It's been done before. Here are pics of my friend Raffi's car with the OEM turbo's 19x11 51mm offset with 305/30/19 tires. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...els-tires.html

No, you only need to use longer bolts when you use spacers, they'll bolt on with your stock bolts and locks just fine.
