i wonder if the 21" version of that style wheel fits on the 5...? seen it on a 7 many times.

that'd be nice.

To be quite honest I dont think the problem I am having has to do with the 19" wheel, rather I beleive it is the rear width of 9.5". It seems to be only because of the xi model. I see you have some pretty large wheels and not only do they look really good, im doubting you have had any issues with them. Anyone with the 19 x 9.5" rears either with an xi or i model please comment. Thanks guys!

NES,

Do you know whether it's the inside or the outside of the tire that is rubbing? Can you post the following info:

Sizes of the original tires (front and rear), width of original wheels (front and rear), and offsets off original wheels (front and rear)........and all the same info for the new setup. That info may be helpful in trying to figure out whether it is more likely to rub the inside or the outside. If it is the outside you may need to roll the fender lips, but if it is the inside then all you may need is to put some spacers on.
