19x8 wheels 35 offset, would it fit the convertible coupe?? Options

[Ricky]

I did a search on the topic and the only people that have 19" wheels have them on hatchbacks. My question is would it fit the coupe without rubbing??
the offset is 35 on the rims in question.

By the way, the car has a 2 inch drop all around.

Anybody knows???? pictures???

here is a picture of the wheel

Yes and No

Will fit, but not with that large of a drop.

I have 19's on. I used TEIN springs (1.5" front/ 1.0" back) and its just at the brink of rubbing. The rear quarter panels will need to be rolled or cut. I'm talking about the inch lip or so thats on the fender. 2" is way way too much and you 1. cant turn and 2. will rub in the back at every bump. But try for the TEINS. It looks great and will set you apart.

I do have a Hatchback, but the coupe should be the same.

Goodluck

turboinduction ...got any pics of your car with 19s?

well it seams that nobody has a coupe with 19" wheels...I talked with the guy at the wheel shop and he told me that it was OK for me to take the car and try them on the car to see if it will rub or not so I will go tomorrow and we will find out...

I currently have 18" wheels (see the profile) but I want to try the 19"

If I have to make changes it also OK with me, I just think it will look really nice with 19x8.
