A few forum members have purchased the 19" and I believe they are running a 1/2 spacer (in the rear). You need to be sure that your that there is enough thread for your lugs to tighten.

Any help from someone that has done this would help.

Are you located in AR? I'll hold the order until we find out if this works for you.

Yea im in AR, thanks! So a 1/2" spacer and some longer wheel studs should do the trick? Anyone know what thread and length studs to order and where?

I have the 18 and 19 set up with the same offset and I am using just a 1/4 inch spacer in the rear with no problems on my 2000 Trans Am.
