Default Tire/Wheel Braintrust - will these wheels fit over my Stop-techs???

They are Axxis Supermesh 19s.

The front are 19X8.5 with nitto extreme 555 size 235/35/19

The rear wheels are 19X9.5 no tires. the bolt patterns are 5X100 and the offset for the fronts are 35Et and the rear wheels are 40ET.

Is there a way to know FOR SURE? I'm thinking about buying a set of wheels from someone on this forum - need to know if they will fit and don't want any surprises.

Default TTstuff states you need to use 10mm spacers to clear the calipers....

so for stoptechs, maybe larger, no?!

Default Well...

I'm not a big fan of spacers first off - IMO they create more issues than benefits (need longer wheel bolts, can get 'glued' to hub of wheel, alignment, etc. I only run them in the rear now...

Biggest deal is that I want plug n play - I love the wheels, but the staggered issues combined with lack of clarity (so far) on whether they will fit isn't something I need to bother with.

If they fit without spacers I'll work on negotiating a deal. The guy who has them is in CT - a big benefit. He's high in price if they are used, but I'm thinking they are basically new - new they are ~$2200 - I need to get them on the cheap to make it worth it to me. As you know, I have good wheels and all is swell - this is a chance to do something different - just don't want any hassles.
