well just talked with Zach and we believe we could pull something like this off,,,we have a few tricks up our sleeve with custom X-laced wheel patterns,,,FYI ,,, the 17 inch front SM wheels use this technique too,,,to gain a little more room
what would help is to send the wheel in after you mark the spot on the spoke closest to the edge of the caliper,,give me a rough idea of how much it clears by,,,then we can extrapolate where that spot would be on a 19'' version and what we need to do ..
FYI,,even under the best efforts to create clearance we have every once in a blue moon needed to resort to shaving/filing a mm or two off the offending spot on the caliper
