    New Rims but Im scared about somethin'

    Received them yesterday

    19x8.5"



    19x9.5"




    But theres a issue I wanted to ask you guys. Do you see the suspension cover thingy...It looks so close to the tire! you think it will rub against the 19's ??

    they will fit fine.
    guys here run 20's.. so no worries about the control arm nut. its the overall diameter of the tire you need to worry bout.
    with the right width and profile they will fit.

    everytime you hit a bumper that upper control arm moves up as well as your wheel. it should never hit.
