I love offset.

With rims that big you are definitely going to have problems!
 You'll need to do some serious arch work to get them to fit (with a half decent size tyre on) let alone rub everywhere... Then again thats what people told me when I first joined the club asking about 16x9's... Do not you think 19"s are maybe a little too big for the 190? Personally 16"s are my favourite size, but I think 17"s are the perfect size "big" wheel for the car. Anything larger can tend to just look too big for the car. Put up a pic of these monster rims anyway mate

With an Evo-2 kit, you may squeeze them in. But tbh i wouldn't buy any new wheels at all until the kit is bought and fully fitted.  And say 'bye bye' to the ride quality if you're looking at 19s. |

It will be bumpy as hell. Plus not just are they 19s, they are quite wide so they will hit your body work not just inside the arches. Generally speaking you can either have wide that stick out of the arches, or large diameter which tuck up inside. Having wide and large diameter will be difficult. Nothing is impossible though. |
