Remove the rear wheel andmeasure the dimension "A" on your car. Also measure the distance between the center of hub and bottom of caliper (measurement "F"). I would make a cardboard template that will fit against the mounting surface of axle, and clear the caliper. You could use a coat hanger and bend it so if it were your wheel, it would fit against hub and "around" caliper as well. Compare that to the wheel you want to buy. Is the wheel available for you to physically inspect? If so, check itout. You may be able to call manufacturer and will have some way of letting you know this dimension.

Good luck. Jazzer

alright its actually pouring out right now so i dont think ill be goin out there with a hanger and a flashlight haha but i just called wheelsnext and the guy i was speaking to (who didnt seem like he knew anything) said if i wanted the 19 X 10's in the rear with the 22 offset i wouldnt have to worry about rubbing the caliber but it would stick out past the fender. i've seen this done and my opinion is that it looks more aggresive sticking out a little bit so maybe ill start a new post asking for people's pics
