Sorry to hear Dr Q. U will need larger spacer than 3mm from what I can see.

While they were test fitting the rim with the 3mm spacer, did u check for the clearance between the outer lip & ur fenders to see if u can safely add a thicker spacer? Once again, u can always roll or shave ur fenders if u really want to keep ur 19x10.

I have 19x10 with H&R, but my offset is high +53mm. Ur Forgestar offset is too low, so u will have to roll even without spacers. Unless u go stretch tires.

I was hoping to hear u were at stock height.. Now we know u are dropped, it will make it even more tight.

I think James is right, u should go 19x9 in ur situation to clear ur calipers w/o rubbing ur fenders.
