you really gotta take into consideration the time and effort that's gonna go into putting on 19x9.5 +27's
The size is good but the offset is gonna need some work. You're gonna really have to concentrate on the right profile tire plus the correct camber so you're not sacrificing function (unless you're going for just looks)
Plus you're gonna have to take into consideration of use - if you're gonna load up hella people in your car or take a passenger (your gf for instance) - you're gonna have to consider the correct spring/shock or coilover setup so you don't rub the inside fender.
The reason why i say go with +37 is to lower the likely hood of you running into issues with fitments UNLESS you want to put forth the effort.

I'll let you guys in a little secret...
The 5, 10, and 15mm spacers will not work on the 8 because of how our studs are, it will hit the OEM rim and it won't close the gap, assuming you're going to stick with OEM rims.

Another thing to think about is tire manufactorers - from experience, i've noticed that the kdw's ver2's seem to be a little more beefy when it comes to their sidewalls compared to say falken 452's or azenis which may cause a rubbing issue at full load.
i know i may be over analyzing things here but much like many people here, i don't like throwing money at a situation til it works ya know?

Well, even with coilovers, he might rub. That's the reason why he needs to eliminate coilovers over all and just install a giant metal stick, that'll be nice and stiff and he'll never rub.
whatever..i'm unemployed again guys...so i might be back on more...Reason: i was supposed to be replacing this lady because she was going to be on maternity leave for 7 months but her baby passed away and now she's coming back within a week or two so my assignment was ended prematurely.
reason why they can't just hire me: the contract needs to be at least 6 months long before i can be considered for a permanant position - it was the company's policy to only have a certain amount of employee's in that department at a time. Though they were pushing for another position to facilitate me - the company needed me to gather more time before considering it...unfortunately things didn't go my way
