The rears should be fine but the fronts are most likely going to be poking.

my rear VB3's are 19x8.5 ET 45 w/ 12.5mm spacers making them really a 32.5 ET and they fit fine.

Actually, NOT likely - Calton had 19x8.5 fronts with ET40 and 10mm spacers (effectively, ET30 offset) - he reported no issues.

I agree. I have 19x8.5 ET 35 for my fronts, and there's still a little room to play. it'll be close, but my *GUESS* (i.e. don't hold be to it) is that it would fit.

Good luck.

Your rears should be 9.5, not 8.5, if you do staggered with 12mm spacers in the rear.

If he wants to do a square setup, then ET32 all around would be fine. Even with room for a thin spacer in the rear.
