Question New Wheels

Sup fellas' thinking about picking up these wheels real soon. Any suggestions, comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have rolled fenders and shaved tabs in the rear and up front I have modified the fender linings. I'm slammed down 3" or so on GC coils and wondering if I will rub with these new wheels.

They are 19x8.5 with a +40 mm offset. I'm thinking I'm going to rub worse than Michael Jackson on little boys. Anyone running this size with this offset??

Thanks and oh yeah, they will be potentially going on a NBP 2nd gen CL.

rolled/completely shaved fenders, 225 tires, and some negative camber and it should be fine.

depends how low you go though,

may get away with running 0 camber and 225s, but rolling is a must.

i do believe even with 225's there will be some pokage; if there is a roll, there is a slight chance
