i think you're really pushing it....i can't profess that i'm a wheel expert....
but you're dropped quite a bit....and you want to get HUGE wheels...and on top of that, they are super wide wheels...even at the offset of 50, i think you're gonna rub...and also depending how wide of tires you run...im assuming if you're getting 8.5, they're gonna be at least 225....
i think you're gonna rub for sure.

Errrrrr.....basically 18 inch and up rims with 8 or 8.5 you'll rub. Since you'll have to put on 235 tires or at very least 225. Methodyst have 17x8 wheels with 225 rubs with tein basics and he had to roll his fenders. Broli with 18x7.5 42 offset with prokits rub and had to roll his fenders. So all in all....19x8 or 19x8.5 will not work unless you stretch your tires to the max like Vdubs

well thanks pearly for your help i'll stick to 7.5.
yah 8.5 is a no go, you wont be able to fit any larger then 8" possibly on a MPS3 but not any of the others. 45 offset is really pushing it, you would really need to stretch the tires to hope not to rub but at the same time roll the fenders. Especially with a sportline drop.
I only rub in the rear because my camber was adjusted to nearly perfect, but even then you the 8" wide wheels on a 48 offset come really really close to the rubbing on the struts.
RX8 are 8" on a 50 offset, to go 19 with a 45 would more then likely rub in front, as the rear probably has bad camber anyways to make them clear unless you corrected it. I dont know enough about the 19" setups though because on M3F I have seen some weird numbers, mind you I find that I am seeing a lot of cars with their wheels sticking out past the fenders lately. You cant trust everything you read right... but definately look into M3F and ask others running the 19" setup.
Hope that helps and is not confusing, I am writing this at 2am afterall...
