9.5 inches - Now with tiny pictures... my bad...
Finally got my wheels on... only cause I've been out of town for 6 months.
Gots me some TSW's, 19x9.5", 35 offset, with a massive 4" lip on all four corners. Actually that was a mistake. It was suppose to be staggered, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending them back in and what not.
The wheels sit flush, and looks great... at least I think so... and I'm dropped on Tanabes.
What do you guys think?

I'm on some Nitto Invo's. 265's on all corners.
Tiny bit of rubbing.... I put some relief cuts on the rear fender lip then lightly hammered them up. But I think the part it is rubbing on is the plastic liner that bolts onto the rear bumper and the fender well. Oh, and the rubbing is only on hard turns.
But you know what though... I'm using 5mm spacers on the rear, cause the last time I mounted the wheels to see what they look like on the car... after I took them off, there was a clean spot on my springs. So I figured the wheel rubbed up against it. BUUUUUUT, it's cause I used the stock lugs and I half assed put them on and moved the car out of the garage.... so I'm thinking the wheel was cocked and rubbed the spring. I'm gonna take the spacers off this weekend and take a drive around the block to see what happens.

Ok... again, my bad.... my phone sucks, even though it cost me a frickin' whole lotta money.... sorry the pics are small and not really clear
Now all I need to do is order the Burnout Kit, and I'm done.

I'll take some side pics tomorrow... but my phone sucks, so I don't think they will get any bigger.
As far as the inner wheel well... it's not touching. If it is, it's not making any noise. But I'll try and get it on the lift tomorrow to double check.

Ok....
-9.5in wide
-35mm offset
-5mm spacers in the rear
-265s all four corners
-Rolled inner fender lip (relief cuts about every 1.5-2 inches and lightly hammered up)
-Dropped on Tanabe springs and factory shocks
The only rubbing is the outside of the wheel on the black plastic piece that screws on the rear bumper into the fender well. Easy fix. The part of the plastic it rubs on, can be cut off.
