19x9.5 45mm offest rears?
Just wondering if anyone out there is running this setup without clearance issues. I'm looking at a set of 19" vertini rf1.3s but they come in 41mm offset for the fronts and 45mm read offsets. I'm also running michelin ps4s in a 275 out back. I tried the serach but theres just too much to sort through. Looking for a clear answer if this setup will work on stock springs.

I've been running 9.5x18 ET52 in back with a 275 tire, on a stock suspension. Wheel size (18 vs 19) doesn't make any difference. Rear suspension has great wheel clearance but the tire-to-shock clearance is paper-thin. With a 45 offset, your tires would be 7mm further from the shocks than mine, so no worries about suspension clearance. Fender edge clearance I'm not sure about but I suspect it would be really tight. My math says your tire would stick out 1/2" (12.5mm) because of the wider wheel and 9mm because of the offset (54 stock - 45 Vertini) - almost 7/8 inch more than stock wheel with the same 275. Do you think you have that much clearance?
