Will 10.5" Wide Rims Fit At The Rear?

[Al]

I am keen on buying new rims, but need to know what is the widest i can go.

I know that 19x9.5 will fit on the rear of my R33 GTST

But

The same rims also come in 19x10.5. Given the right offset, will these fit under the standard 33 GTST rear guards, without hitting/rubbing on any suspension components, inner guard, etc? If so; what is the right offset?

The height from center of hub to arch is 340mm (unloaded) and the guards have been previously rolled (not flared). I am NOT willing to make any more modifications to the guards, just want to know if 10.5" wide rims would bolt straight up, without any hassles. Obviously with 10.5" rims, i'll be running 275 or 285 tires.

Your help is appreciated

Maybe to close to call there, all depends on the offsets. I have 18x10's with a +22 offset i think and i need to get the guards slightly flared for them to fit under without munching the guards, so it will all depend on the offset dude... mine had 265's on them aswell

even 9.5s are pushing it especially in 19s...10.5s no matter how you play with the offsets you may encounter scrubbing at either side...too low an offset will rub ur guards...to high an offset will probably rub ur suspension...

Tis true, i have about an inch maybe more clearance between the coilover and the inside edge of my rim... but it also sticks outside the guards by that extra inch lol

not sure how different cefiros are but 18x10+11 stick an inch out of unpumped guards.

why dont you want to work the guards ?? its cheap and easy!!

man up and do it.

I have a 3-layer pearl red paint job (similar to Candy Apple Red), and do not fancy respraying the whole car just for rims
