Fitment question for 17 GT

[MildMax]

Hello,
I've been recently shopping for wheels and a set has popped up a few hours drive from me. I'm just not sure on the fitment.

The wheels for sale are a 19x9.5 +22 (all 4)

My car is not a performance pack. I'm fairly sure inner clearance shouldn't be an issue with the 9.5 width considering I've been drooling over even wider square setups on here (inb4 someone tells me I'm wrong)

My main concern is poke. Any idea how these would fair?
I'd really like to move forward with a square setup. Currently stock height but will be dropping on springs (most likely sportlines) by the end of summer.

I would just drive up to test fit, but that's a good chunk of gas to burn.
Hopefully one of the resident fitment gurus can chime in :hail:

That will stick out 1.14" more than the PP1 19"x9" factory front rims and 0.25" more than a typical aftermarket 19"x10" +35mm but 0.44" less than the PP2 19"x10.5" factory front rims.

19x9.5" ET22 is going to poke a bit, however negative camber specifications and tire size play a role. What is your goal for tire size?

A very popular rotatable square fitment would be 19x10" with 285/35-19 tires. The 10" wheel provides more sidewall support for 285 tires in comparison to the 9.5" wheels, and you will have no problem mounting them up to the car as long as the offset is correct.

285/35-19 is a great size tire to run, as there are many options to choose from including the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Here are a couple photo's of our 19x10" ET40 square fitment as an example.

So far I was looking at running a 275/40-19 though a 285/35 would also be considerable.

How much poke are we talking realistically here? Poke on all 4 corners or just the rear? Few mm or something more drastic?

I do like those wheels you posted, but I am after a little more concavity.

The 9.5" ET22 would be adding 12mm spacers front and rear on the cars above. Since you are on stock suspension without adjustable camber plates (OE camber settings) it will poke both front and rear.
