(19x9.5 wheels up front & 19x11 Rear) will it fit?

Im going out on a limb here but are you looking at the Varrstoen ES 112 rims..?
The offsets you have listed are pretty aggressive you would need rolled fenders.
In deed I was thinking about the same wheels for some time. I always wanted 19" wheels But I was looking at the 22mm front and 25mm rears as they match my FR500 rim offsets the best and I figured give me room to run a spacer if need
I have been using this to help me find better fitting rims not sure how accurate they are but better then nothing.

i have 19x11 in the rear and 19x9 in the front....:shrug:
I was told that 19x9.5 with a offset of +22
and 19x11 with a offset of +15 would be better I am also looking at the same wheels
That is the same offset I had on my 18 inch wheels
Front Size : 19x9.5 Front Offset : +12
centerline 4.75"
offset .48"
backspacing 5.23"
frontspacing 4.27"
Rear Size : 19x11 Rear Offset : +15
centerline 5.5"
offset .59"
backspacing 6.09"
frontspacing 4.91"
The following is for a lowered 03/04 cobra with IRS (lowered about 2 inches front/rear)
Front:
3 inches front spacing is about right, a bit more might be ok but no more than 3.2 inches else the tire may start to stick out from the fender.
Rear:
3.75 inches is flush with the fender when you have a normal size tire (that sticks past rim lip by about .25 inches). 4.00 the rim is fender flush and the tire will stick out past the fender. Past 3.5 you may or may not have to roll the fender, at 3.75 you probably will (at least a 45 degree roll) and at 4.00 its required most always.
As the front/rear of the 03/04 cobra is lowered from stock the tires tuck in more due to the geometry of the suspension so you can stick the rim out more if the car is lowered to maintain the overall look you want. My car (in sig) is 2.89 front spacing for front wheels and 3.75 front spacing on the rear wheels (with rolled rear fenders... one side rubs by .1 of an inch....)
am I missing something here, with that much of the rim sticking out it has got to look like crap?
