u should have gotten 20x9.5 +35 fronts and 20x10.5 +37 rears.
u got 8.5 and 9.5 and with the same +36, +37 offsets u get even LESS lip because the rims themselves are pretty narrow
but since u want to go 19" u should have went with 19x9.5 +35, 19x10.5 +37

Weiboy's right, shoulda gone with 20's.
I have the 20" GT30's, 9.5" width fronts. There's a tiny lip there, not much. You said yours was 19 and 8.5 so I'm guessing thats all the lip you get in the front.
TomieG has 19" Volks and his car looks bomb!
You'd have to get coilovers and slam the car. Get spacers and change your tires for a stretched look.

Here are some pix after the drop:
I'm going to order the 9.5" fronts and get 35 series for the front and 30 series for the rear. Does this sound about right?
BTW: Nobody told me I needed hub centric rings, but I found out I did and put them on before any damage occured.

Should have gotten a 9.5" front with +35 offset.. thats what I'm running on my Volks and my lip is about 3" in front and 4" in rear... I'm also rollin on DUBs..
8.5 is too small for that car in the front.. and I'm running a 255.35R20 Tire up front.. I have a 275.30R20 in rear right now but it's too stretched, gonna switch to 285!!!
