Put a 20mm spacer in the rear. It'll look weird otherwise. In essence this doesnt have to be a mistake. If you bought 4 of the same wheel, then you can rotate the wheels and get more life out of tires.

here are some 20mm spacers. The wheels are fine, just put spacers on. I like the idea of being able to rotate the tire/wheels also.

I feel your pain. When I first purchased my wheels, I had recieved 19x8's in the front. Looked really bad with the offset it came in. After several months, I ordered the 9's with better offset. Still going to add some spacers when I get some time.
Just in case you wondering. I also have the 77W with 19x10 in rear with 28 offset and the 19x9 in the front are 30 offset. Looking to go 10mm spacer after I get my fenders rolled.

it's still going to look a bit wierd even with spacers. The staggered wheels that those g games comes in has a bigger lip in the rear. You never test fitted the rims before paint?
