Will 19x8 wheels fit?

Alright, I’m going to attempt to explain my situation.

I recently purchased a set of 19x8 wheels from a friend. He had these wheels previously on his IS300. I've included a picture below, the wheels came with his car. The rear wheels are staggered, I believe they are 19x8.5. I test fit the front wheels; didn't run into any issues. The rear wheels didn't fit, it appears I might need spacers.

Front Wheels: 19x8 (225/35/19)
Rear Wheels: 19x8.5 (235/35/19)
Offset: Unknown

Keep in mind I would NEVER try to put staggered wheels on a FWD car. I purchased the wheels before I had the Eclipse, I would like to use them if possible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The RS 4 Net Forged Modular.
The RS 4 is a forged wheel that features a Net Forging process. Unlike most wheels on the market, the design of the wheel is obtained through a sequence of forging processes and multiple dies. This process allows us to deliver a very light wheel, fully pocketed in the rear but with a load rating that will include any vehicle in the BMW Group range.

The bowed mesh design anchors the center to 10 equally distant points on the rim register ring, for unbelievable strength and weight savings. The open mesh design also allows us to clear the Racing Dynamics Competition Brake System and delivers maximum cooling of the brake disc.

I have the RS 4 Net Forged Modular
Racing Dynamics® - High Performance Alloy Wheels

Please note : That is the cost PER rim, I would really like to keep run these.

I figured if they were on a IS300 we might have an idea of the offset.

That's kind of like saying, "I got a pair of shoes from my cousin. Will they fit me?" I don't know your cousin.

Anyhow, you put them on. Where did they not fit? Also, offset or "ET" is often stamped into an unmachined surface on the back of the wheel.

Nothing is written on the inside of the wheels.

I was mistaken. The rear tires are 245/35/19.

The diameter is a little big but could fit if offset is close to +40mm. If you are rubbing at the knuckle you could use a spacer. You can space the wheel with washers to get an idea of how thick a spacer you need, but don't be tempted to leave them in there. Spacers typically require longer studs.

If your hitting the fender you can roll it and/or increase negative camber.

That is an EXCELLENT idea. Thanks a bunch buddy. I'll let you know the results.
