Exclamation Will these rims fit? Falken 19"x8" - 5x120 - 38mm offset

Will these fit?

Falken

75051017 Gunmetal 19 x 8.0 5x120 38mm 72.6mm
Wheels - Torque 5 - Falken Tire

I found a guy in the area that will sell me a set - new in the boxes for 500

there 5x120.7 vs the 5x120.7 , seems as though many people run that bolt pattern without any issues, but others that have had bad luck with it.
Aside from the bolt pattern, what about offset and size. they're 19" x 8" with a 38mm offset and 72.6mm center bore

Thanks

Ok, the 5x120mm bolt pattern is not what the 4th gen is for. The 4th gen bolt pattern is 5x120.65mm so it's a little off and can put stress on the studs. And really, the most popular setup for these 4th gens isn't with 19" it's with 17's using 17x11 rear and 17x9 or 9.5 on front. The 38mm offset on the front will set the lip of the tire right at the edge of the fender which is the desired look most go for....the offset on the rear would have to be greater, 45-50mm, to keep them from rubbing inside or sticking too far out.

Are you sure you want to put 19x8 all the way around? If you do that offset will put them slightly tucked inside the fender well. But as for me, I'm cautiously using a set of GTO rims that were on when I purchased the car and have been keeping an eye on my studs for wear, the GTO is also a 5x120mm pattern. Unwanted stress on the studs.
