Hhhmm :? they will "fit" but the rear of the wheels will be far too close to the inner suspension so you would need maybe 20mm front / 15mm rear spacers to alleviate that .
i think its possibly doable with a little trial & error but the arch liners aren't a great design on the rear so possibly a need for stretched tyres dependent on which suspension you are on . fronts might also rub on lock until you find the perfect meet point of spacer / tyre size

Thank you for that. It sounds like it will be to much hassle. I'm just trying to look for alloys that are good for value. I don't really know what I'm looking at or where to look tbh.

Guess it's all budget dependent as to how you perceive " good value "

Have a look at the selection of Veemann 19s on Www.cmwheels.com
Around £700 delivered they are quality rims with a flawless finish .
