Arrow VMR V708 19x8.5 et48

Anyone running these? With a 245/30 this could be a nice non-staggered setup. Rear ought to fit, front could be a bit questionable.

Compared to stock, it's 14mm closer inboard and 16mm further outboard.

Bueller? Bueller?

Anyone know if this will fit and/or what is necessary to make it fit? Fender rolling, more camber?

No way that will fit on the front - it will foul on the suspension on the inner side.

Do you know how much clearance there is on the inboard side with the OE setup? My car is a couple hundred miles away currently...

Not exactly, but if you look through this thread you will see several instances where front wheels did not fit and they had more clearance on the inner side than the VMRs you are looking at:

Thanks, not too many data points, but it looks like the sweet spot is a 42 or 43 with average-width 245 tire.

If you add a 5 to 10mm spacer and throw in some negative camber in the front via the free alingment pin mod you should be able to run that setup and rotate them to boot.

5mm spacer should make it work up front. oem rear wheel is 8.5" wide with a 52mm offset. i tried it up front with a 245 tire and a 10mm spacer (making an effective 42mm offset), and there was enough space to barely get a finger between the the tire/wheel and the strut. a 5mm spacer will have you at 43mm.
