Rears will probably need the fenders cut/rolled to fit. They will be close. If you run 2deg neg camber they might just fit?

Fronts will be OK.

Why do you wan staggered setup?? This will not help the handling....

I'm running 19x8.5 with 255/35 all the way around. It is basically the closest you can get to stock size when doing a +1.

Yeah, I'm the first one, the wheels were only originally made for lexus and other european cars. Love the wheels great quality for the price, love that it looks so much like the BBS LM edition wheels.

not sure if this will help
