1 yes unless the wheels are some whack offset
2 no, far from it

2 no, far from it

Exactly.

Don't ruin a brand new car - if you simply must go 19s and actually want Santiagos why not take advantage of someone keen to get rid of their OEMs.

It may not look good but at least it will be high quality.

Or buy an awesome set of branded better than OEM wheels in 18s sourced from Europe for lighter weight, better performance and cheaper tyres.
