19x9.5 on all fours, too wide?
I have a really good deal on some 19x9.5 on all fours with 275/30/19 on the tires, is this going to look too wide?
For the enkei rp03's?

I have 19 x 9.5's on the rear with 275/30's. You will get some excessive tire wear on the inside of your tires. If your car has been lowered, then the wear will be quicker.
Also, you might have to get your fenders rolled if your car has been lowered or you plan or if you plan on doing in in the future.
Personally, I think 19's are OK, but 9.5 is too wide. Just my opinion.

Rolling fenders and all that is all dependent on Offset of the wheel.
RX8 guys ahve been autoxing with
RPF1 18x9.5 +45 and 275/35/18 with stock fenders for quite some time now.
The overall size and shape of this will not be any different from the 18" setup. Therefore it's guaranteed to work.

For show I would roll 19"s, but with the lack of torque this car has I would personally go with some lightweight 18x9.5s.
The issue regarding excessive wear on the inside of the tires can be taken car of with a proper alignment.

i'm gonna post pics of this fitment after the weekend:
19x9.5 +45 RP03 SBC
Toyo T1R Front and rear 285/30/19
MMM Yummy.
Definitely all show and not that much go when you rock 19's.
But with 17's i pulled away from a Z without any probs. It was heaven.
Thus, NT03+M 17x9.5 +44 all around are my daily drivers, and then 19's for the sunny days.

I rolled my fenders when i was running my 19x10 +45 offset wheels, which is like a 9.5" +39 and was running a 275/30/19.
I've only rolled about 4-5mm and has a real nice rounded edge on the inside. Like Factory BMW fenders. You can roll out another 5mm for sure, but it will flatten. I have no cracking paint or anything.
You can see the beginning of the rolling stages in this picture:

SUPER EASY TO DO.
YO DON,
i'll be towing one of my cars to vegas the first week of sept, tentatively. I'll bring my fender roller/heat gun if you want me to do it for you. I'll do it for a good price for you.

Yups so light for this MASSIVE Setup.
The fronts do not need to be rolled. At the time of install and driving if you decide you want them rolled I can do it. Mine are totally stock up front btw.
