Question Will these offsets work?

I'm planning to order a set of Volks SF-Winnings soon , and was wondering if these size/offsets would work...I have th oem non-brembo brakes. I'm looking to have the face pretty flush to the wheel well, but I don't want to have to roll my fenders. My car isn't lowered right now. If i go with these offsets, would the tires rub if i lower the car by 1/2 to 1 inch?

Fronts: 19x 8.5 +13 (Offset A)
Rears: 19 x 9.5 +17 (Offset B)

Thanks!

with those offsets, the wheels will be moved outward quite a lot, so you will likely experience rubbing on the fenders when you lower the car... better offsets are in the +22 to +30 range....

hmm, i think you're right, i keep forgeting that even though the stock wheels are pretty tucked in, i'm getting wider rims, so i'll measure it again to see what offset i should use...the offsets for the 9.5 sf-winnings go from +17, to +19, then to +29 with nothing in between...maybe i'll have to go with the +29s...

thanks for the input!

If a 10.5 +22 works then a 9.5 +17 will work. You will have to roll the fenders. 8.5 +13 will work also. Nice offsets in my opinion. I wouldn't do a 9.5 +29

Tough call ........ we are talking millimeters here. Could be yes, could be no. Rolling the quarter panel lip is no big deal.
