You can go 19s but you have to watch your offset in the rear. A recomended off set for the rear would be +43 front/+45 rear, 8.5" front/ 9.5" rear. This is the offset i'm using on the project car. You can go with a more aggressive +35 in the rear for a larger lip but you will want to roll the fenders to avoid rubbing in the rear. You can put 10" wide on the rear but the offset will have to change accordingly. If your worried about rolling the fenders, don't be. When done correctly by a skilled tech it's quick, easy, cheap, and fender freindly. You can't tell from the out side of the car. Besides if you ever plan on lowering your 8 you'll really need to do it.

Vivid Could you tell me what to expect for a good answer from a body shop when I ask if "they roll fender well lips"? I want to get it done and would like to know if the shop really knows what they are doing or just want the chance to make some money. I don't have a big selection of shops here and most are starving, if you know what I mean.

Its a really easy process. You can even by a makeshift Roller from Ebay. Call around to a few places ask them to procedure they take. They basically roll the inner lip of the fender. It's almost un-noticable from outside untell you run your finger along the fender. Just make sure they use a Heat gun to save your paint. But basically ask them what process there going to take if it sounds like he knows what he's talking about your probably good. After the job is done you should notice no change from the outside of the car if done correctly. Ill see if I can get some pics of my rolled fenders on the rear of my 240 to show ya.
