I don't think so either the rear has a 'lil' bit of a gap but not like other cars. You should be fine. Post pic's when you get your Rims...

BIG GAP. You can put about 3 fingers lengh between the tire and the fender. DON"T DO IT.

I was wondering the same, right now i have less then a 2 finger gap on my stock 18's, so I'm wondering if I'll have to drop the car or if I can leave it like that and put the VR GT-C 19's???

Most of the time it looks like sh*t. It almost looks bearable if your wheel has a higher offset.

Let me say this...
When I got my 19" rims, I couldn't afford to drop the car
because I was outta money.
I planned to have the car drop in a month or two.
But after I saw how it looked, I sold my body to a fat, old lady and
dropped the car immediately a week after...

I'm telling you it doesn't look right if you don't drop it...


p.s. - The 'selling my body' part was just a joke LOL

19" with no drop. I planned to drop it just 1/2" front and 3/4" in the back with Hotchkis springs but couldn't due to the kit. Sold the springs, sadly. I think it needs the drop (just a slight one), and if you don't have a kit, it would be better.

I am so shocked no one has played the "SEARCH BUTTON" card!! Seems like no matter what is posted on this forum someone will tell you to search..

Anywho I was in the same dilemna, decided to go with 18s..I think 19s will need a drop alot more than 18s..
