19x10.5 will they fit?

Just Yesterday I went ahead and purchased my self a set of Volks.

Specs are: 19x10.5 and +12 offset

Wondering if these will fit well with my Evo8.

Heres what Im working with, Im going widebody on the car with a VIS widebody kit.
I know the rear fenders will need to be rolled to make the rims sit flushed and not rub.
But how will 19s look on an evo with a widebody?
Im hoping this setup will look siiick as I picked up the rims at a great price.
Got this set for $1900.00 WOW

Let me know what u guys think of or if u have ever seen an evo pull off 19s on a widebody.

uhmmm.....define fit. you can put some 245/35-19 tires and about -4 degrees camber and yes it will fit. this set up will only go 3mm outwards from where i am by the offset calculator. im at 9.5+2 in front and +7 rear.

you will have to pull the rear fenders, or you can go wide body and avoid all the headache
pm me pics when its done. i want to see this installed

The rear fenders don't need to be rolled...............................

They need to be chopped out then add a widebody rear. No way in hell you are making those fit with a stock body.

I have a set of 19 10.5 +22 volks on my evo 7
275/30 19 rubber.

to make it work at -2/-2 camber I needed: 2 new custom arch covers (metal vs. plastic oem), rubbed at full turn and made holes, fendermods.net front kit, cut, and rolled and paited rear fenders. ALOT of protective paint starting from the front doors)))

lies......it will fit just need more camber, i average -4 and you will have to have coilovers to get over the stock strut issue. don't worry about it

I guess my answer was too absolute. You could get them to fit if you run a stupid amount of rear camber and a stupid stretched tire..... but then you just look stupid.

Just my opinion of course
