19x8.5 et45 for a 2010 Mazda 3 (5 door), good idea???

[dybgeo]

All,
I want to purchase the TSW Nurburgring 19x8.5 wheels in gun metal for my 2010 Mazda 3., but I keep going back and forth, 19x8.5 et 45 or 18x8.5 et 45. I'm afraid that they will rub with the 19's, I'm not lowering the car. Americas/ discount tires is telling that it will rub. They're selling all 4 wheels plus the black lug nuts, all for $1185, no tires. I think it's a he'll of a deal... What do you guys think?
Need some advice...I know I can get it here, some of you already have. Thanks in advance.

George

I got the wheels yesterday...I ended up with the 19X8.5 et 45! The wheels look sick and light...I got the wheels for $940 @ Les schwab a local tire store.
