Going to pick up a set of VB3's

I was wondering how much work its going to take to fit VMR VB3's in 19x9.5 et22 and 19x10 et25. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and getting the wheels cause I love aggressive and concave looks. Tires are 265/30/19 front and 295/30/19 rears

Without extreme fender work or M3 fenders, there is no way you'll be able to fit 265's in the front and 295's in the rear with those offsets.

Try 225 fronts and 265 rears. You'll need to roll the fenders.

If you go with 225 front and 255 rear, you might not need fender rolling. Anything wider than that, you will. For example, I had to get my rear fenders flared a little bit to fit 275's on 19x10 ET25.

225/255 should be able to be pulled off with those sizes. Some rear fender work still may be required though.

A 225/255 setup on a 8.5" and 10" will be very stretched. Make sure you like that look before going with that tire choice.

You're better off trying to run the ET33 up front to be honest, but if you really want to go to a ET22, I wish you the best of luck, but I'm sure it can be done easily with the right tire size.

225 won't be stretched very much on a 8.5" rim. 255 on a 10 inch rim will be stretched quite a bit.
