Will these fit?

Will these specs fit on our cars? Im a little unsure about the 38 offset. I read somewhere that 38 might work, I just cant remember where. I know the next question might be, "depends on what look you are going for" and i do intend to drop (tein Htech). IM hoping to get the wheels to sit flush with my fenders (stance look)? thanks for the help.

rear would not be flush if they are 8.5" even 9.5" would be sucked in a little

The wheel size is 19 x 8.5. So I guess it would be sucked in a little? I should've posted this link earlier. I'm looking into getting this set-up. http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=5864
They are geared more for BMW and Lexus. This set was the closest I could find. I'm assuming being sucked in, spacers could solve that problem, right? If so, what are the cons of running spacers.

8.5 wide +38 will be very much in line with the fenders, maybe a tad inside, but almost perfect. If you want it more "flush", a 5 mm spacer in the rear will work, but you might get rubbing depending on tire size and drop. I say leave the fronts as is.

Use the calculators in the thread linked in post #5, you'll learn more about fitment that way and won't have to rely solely on others' advice.

i have these in a +35 offset and my fronts poke out about 1 or 2 mm...the +38 offset will be great for the front and the rears will definitely tuck in. the Htech springs are not low enough imo and you will have a gap between the tire and the fender. depending on your financial situation, go with s.techs or coils...

With htech springs, how much gap are we talking about? Not that money is a problem, but arent stech springs cheaper?

Guys, im super confused on offset and fitment. I read the guides. But after reading a bunch of posts, everyone seems contradicting. I was set on Drag DR37 cheap, they only come in 40 offset. https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-photograph-gallery-144/dr37-shoes-falken-wrapped-851303/

but 40 sticks out the front a little?

Im doing 225 40 19 eibachs. i want the wheel to be flush, if not slightly inside.

35mm front to keep it IN a little, 40mm in the back???
