Wheel size questions?

I have been looking at wheels for my car lately and found a set i like but not sure if the offsets will fit. I want an aggresive look but not overboard. The wheels are 19x8.5 20mm fronts/ and 19x9.5 25mm rear! I feel ok about the rears but not sure about the fronts. I know these are big offsets Will these fit?

What type of work are you willing to do to make them fit? You do realize the rears will move out over 1 1/2" father than stock.

You don't want to go to aggressive on the camber in the rear. You're tires will last a shorter term and you could loose traction in a curve at high speeds. You say you don't want to go overboard, with a 20 and 25mm you are! I recommend you contact the house from who you are buying the wheels and speak toa 37 the tech department regarding what you want and what is right. You will see nice TL's with super wide wheels, of course they look nice, but you loose ride and performance. I would recommend a 35 to 38 in front and a 37 to 39 in the rear. Then again do some more research with wheel manufacturers!

I found a set with 9.5 rears with a 25mm offset it is aggresive but will it fit the car? I will roll the fenders and stretch the tires.
