19x10.5 on the front???

Tire Rack has the SSR Comp-H 19x10.5 on closeout for $449 down from $649 each. It has a +43mm offset, would this work on the front assuming a 275 35 19 tire?

Try this offset calculator; stock bullit 18" X 8.5" wheels have a offset of 50mm:

Thanks for the link. Interesting, it comes back as the following...

Inner clearance: 18mm LESS
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 32mm

My guess is since it's fine in the back, it will be fine up front as far as lining up with the fender. BUT, can we go an additional 18mm inwards towards the strut???

The offset is correct IF you can go that wide on the front. 10" fits well, but 10.5 may be pushing it. In the rear, you caould add another 1.5" and be clear. See if they'll let you order just the 2, try them on the front, then order the other 2 that you need (either 9" front or another pair of 10.5')

The main issue is that front wheels need to turn side to side, but the rears don't... so what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.

I find it hard to conceive that those would fit without severely rubbing when turning, or hitting the fender when turning over bumps.
