19x8 42mm offset = mission impossible ?

From reasearch that I did I came to conclusion that 19"x 8" with 42mm offset is not going to work unless I go with some kinda heavy duty spacers, which seem to be not worth of hassle right ?
From what I understand is the offset that is going to make this whole deal impossible right ?
Founding the tires that will work is near miracle as well ?
I wish I could get these rims to work ,knowing the price and the look of 'em but again I'm kinda unsure if it's going to work.
btw I'm about to purchase 2003 X-sport 2wd.
Can someone please confirm my concern ?

Those wheels are awesome looking!

Mine are:

SIZE: 20" inch, 20x9

LUG PATTERN: 5x114.3 mm, 5x4.50 in.

OFFSET: +35mm

I get a little rub on the Saleen Sway bar from the tire. Check out BMW X5's for what tire you can get. I know they have some for you. I almost went with 19"s but the tires are a lot more $.

Good Luck and let me know if I can help you out.

If your wheels are 9" with 35mm offset than maybe 8" with 42mm won't be such a bad deal ?

There is something about these wheels that I can't resist. I got 'em for 150 each which is IMO great price.
In worse case I'll just sale 'em.
I'm not concern about the tire price just yet, as long as I can fit 'em with out spacers or anything like that I'm going for it. It's the 42mm offset that makes me worry.

btw your wheels are da best

I have 20X8.5 with 38mm offset with 275/45/20 tires and I rarely get any rub. It only rubs if I am turning tight and I hit a bump. Otherwise no rubs on turns. I have a 97 explorer BTW.
