These wheels will work but is way more on the aggressive side. In order for you to run this, you are going to sacrifice contact patch and in need of modded fenders to pull this look. Not highly recommneded if this is your first wheel.

1) 235-40-18 / 215-35-18 Tire Combo

2) Rolled Rear Fenders

3) Negative Camber

IMO, I say your best bet is to start with high conservative offsets (+63) and work your way down from there, and you can get a gist of what you can play around with and what kind of room you can tamper with.

You'll will probably never get a 255 or larger rear tire to fit no matter what you do with those offsets. Sorry.

what wheels are you getting? you are sacrificing contact patch because the offsets are aggressive which make the wheels stick out, and you need a smaller tire so you wont rub. but im sure you wont be pushing it that hard if youre thinking about going with 19's.

I know its late, but I would not buy these wheels. The rear wheels are going to be a nightmare at just a +40 offset. I shopped Wheels Next a couple of years ago, and that is not one of the wheels/offset combos that they suggested. Don't do it!
