will a 38 offset work???

I'm thinking of buying 19x8.5F/19x9.5R with a 38m offset all around. I just want to make sure that they'll fit before I buy them.

I'd suggest really checking it out with Tire Rack or equivalent. You can't tell if it will fit the brake calipers etc. just by looking at offsets. You might very well end up with wheels that don't clear the brakes, then will have to use spacers or get other wheels. Not the best set-up.

Is the wheel offset the same front and rear on the stock wheels? I know the fronts are 7.5" and the rear are 8.5" already.

I should of looked before asking. NO 49 front, 52 rear, WOW.

The rears will definitely not come close to fitting. I have 9" wide ET41, and 255's barely fit. You would have tire and wheel out beyond the fender.

As for the fronts, you'd have a tough time getting more than a 215 on there, IMO.
