Default Work VS-XX Wheel Fitment

So I recently purchased a set of work vs xx because the deal was just too good to pass up, however I have concerns about the fitment. The wheels are 19x8 all around, +51 and +48 offset. I'm just worried about
How it'll look or if it'll actually fit properly. I tried looking for answers but it seems most people go staggered and have the rear wheels wider, which I ideally would've liked. Also, I'm not too familiar with offsets and such so I'm kinda in the dark here. Would these wheels look ok on the car? I need some opinions, thanks guys.

dude... you'd need some insane spacers just to get to factory offsets/flushness, particularly for the rear. not to mention the tire sizes would be really weak. again I think this would be most noticeable in the rear.

I'd vote you sell them and get something else or get your stock wheels painted and get some better/wider tires.

what this guy said. spacers for 19x8 and +48/+51?! you'd need a 30mm spacer in the rear and a 20mm spacer in the front. then you'd have to deal with skinny *** tires because the wheels are only 8inches wide. sell em

Damn those are nice! And I paid basically 2000 shipped for all four. I thought it was a pretty good deal and I had my fingers crossed that they would look decent but I kinda knew deep down that it wouldn't work too well.

So I guess the general consensus is to sell them, as much as thats not what I wanted to hear you guys all seem right. Damn!

if you're balling out on wheels, why would you buy wheels with poor fitment and specs? an 8 inch wheel has no business on a Z unless its a winter wheel. the max tire you'd be able to run safely is likely a 235 or at maximum a 245. that'd be ok for the front, but for the rear, that would look absolutely ridiculous

To be honest I didn't think it through, I saw the price and bought them on impulse. I'll just try to sell them and get my money back at this point.

This setup is worse than the stock 18's.

What size is the rear tire? Does it rub at all? Do you have a pic showing how far the rear tire stick out from the fender?

It doesn't rub at all. It sticks out about 1/4 of a cm. This is the only picture I got so far...

Hey give me a picture of them. I think I am able to help you sell them. I got a co worker with a civic and might be interested.
