Need advice for fitting +25 offset wheels

I need some advice from all you wheel/tire experts. I came across a great deal for some PIAA Super Rozza wheels. Only problem is they are 19x9 +25 & 19x10+25. Do you'all think this offset will work on the 8. I don't want ridiculous camber or rubbing, but I'm willing to adjust with tire sizes to make them fit. I already have rear fenders rolled, so that won't be an issue. I tried searching for similar setups, but couldn't find anything.

I'll greatly appreciate input from anyone with experience in this area. Thanks!!

You are going to have to try them and see what happens

The rears are going to rub with 275's bad...but you might get away with 255's and a roll and camber. The outer rim is about 15mm further out than 9.5 35 offset that usually rub so not feeling that great about your chances

The fronts you might get away with.....but they will likely be a problem as well

Not the best offsets at that width...

just FYI, me and dannobre are running 18x10.5 +43. thats about as extreme as you want to go without having some ridiculous camber and fender mods.

what is ridiculous camber to you? 3? with fenders rolled you could pull off 225 and 255 tire with maybe 2.3 and 2.6 camber.

Ridiculous camber is more than you need for tire performance and that depends on tires...

So by default...any time you have to add more camber than necessary to make the incorrect offset wheels fit is ridiculous

19x10 +25 is a no go.
nuke is right, with a wheel that size, you want something close to +42 or +43

17X10 +25s barely fit, and that is with decent work.

19s are a no go. Even at stock height.
