Will these fit? +45 front and +38 rear

19x8.5 +38 (Rears)
225/35/19
Will the front stick out or be tucked in?
Will the rear stick out or be tucked in?

Take two pieces of wood, 24" long and 2" wide. One has to be 10mm thick, the other 17mm.
Hold the 10mm thick piece flat against the sidewall of a front tyre. That's roughly how far out the new wheel/tyre will end up.
Hold the 17mm thick piece flat against the sidewall of a rear tyre. That's roughly how far out the new wheel/tyre will end up.
I think 225s on 8.5" wheels will make the car feel a little nervous as the sidewalls will be very taut. Seek advice from a chassis specialist, but it's my opinion that 245s would be better.
Hope this helps

Our stock 17" has 225/50's on 7.5" ET 55, and one of our sponsors RonJon has Legend's in 19 x 8 ET 48 and most people in this forum put 245/35's on them.
So, 225's on 8.5" is a bit on the small side.
The smaller the offset #, means more stick out or flush with the fender.

Eurobro, there's no need to be jealous 
I de-coloured the orange indicators in Photoshop to replicate the Euro Type S lenses. I wanted to make sure I liked them before spending £250 each on the genuine articles.
I'm still undecided over how they look as the orange colour helps break the expanse of silver when viewed from the side.
