Default Tire/Wheel Help

I have a couple questions regarding changing to aftermarket rims. I have been looking at these

Sport Edition ST4 Silver w/Machined Lip

and i have a couple questions. 1. will the stock tires fit fine on these since they are slightly wider than stock rims. 2. will they fit ok. 3. will i need spacers or something else to have them fit normal?

Im sure some of these have been answered previously but i couldnt find any of my answers searching. Thank you

I looked at the Crossfire application and offhand, I would say you will need rear spacers. 10-15 mm. The tires will be fine.

No. They will have to be longer by whatever the thickness of the spacers! Use the tool found in this Sticky:

The fronts will fit right on without issue. The rear will definitely need a spacer. 12mm (a common thickness) should be OK.

I finally have found the rims i am going to buy, but i have one last question, TSW Rivage Wheels the rear is available in 19 x 8 or 19 x 9.5, and i am curious which would be better if either, the 19 x 8 has a 32 offset and the 19 x 9.5 has a 35.

just means you use a 10mm spacer or a 15mm spacer...along with proper bolts. It will also depend on the size of tire you will be mounting...

stock tires if possible and i was planning on ordering spacers from needswings. since spacers are not ideal, is there any advantage to running the smaller one?
