u should be fine with the right size tires. probably 255/35/19. if anything the most you'd have to do is roll your rear fender a lil.

You are adding 38mm to the width of the wheel. 4mm on the inside and 34mm on the outside.
It means the inside of the wheel will move inward 4mm and the outside of the wheel will move out 34mm.
This is compared to the stock rim.
So get out the digital caliper or tape measure and measure outside and inside from the rim lip and see if you have clearance.

does that help?

I have run 17X9.5 with no issues and I know 18X9.5 or even 18X10 fits fairly easily.

They Fit fine for me... 19x9.5 5Zigen Sport Engine. But it also depends on the offset you are doing. that is the most important part.

The first thing is the offset you use as well as the overall rim width. I use 275/30R19 tires in the rear no problems at all no fender rolling no rubbing nada, I have a set of 285/30R19 tires im gonna try as well.. That will be super close to the Strut thing in the rear.. but ima try it..

Simple answer. 18x9.5 with 35 offset will rub if your are lowered. Rolled fender will clear but inner wheel liner will not.
