I'm not too worried about the rear, just need to know what I'd need to have done up front to get the wheels to fit. Thanks.

That offset that I asume he is saying is to the outside is only 1 3/8" so you would have 7" back spacing on the front wheels!! I am not sure you can fit them without have the "skated" look. I would leave them alone and find a set that you can get in the offset you need to do it right not make it work cause you like them. In the long run you will be happier.

The backspacing on the 9.5" is 6.2 inches and on the 8.5" it is 6". You can check it for yourself here:

I don't think this is so far off that you could not use them with some spacers. Something as small as 1/4 to 3/8" on the 9.5" rear and maybe 1/2" on the front. The fronts might be a little trickier than the rear, you may end up having to buy an adaptor if you go much thicker on the spacer.

It's a bit of a gamble with the 19" wheel but the tire diameter is 25.8 inches which should be fine. I think it will depend on how low your car is.

Maybe some of the wheel experts will offer up an opinion.
