I basically paid the prices listed on the Hartmann and Tirerack sites respectively, plus shipping to Niagara Falls NY.

i have 19 x 9.5 et 40 that I test fit and did not have any rubbing, fitted them with 255/50/19 snows. Interesting that the et38 needed spacers. It is a little tight, but the wheel spun freely without rubbing on anything.

The bolt pattern and hub bore are fine, but an offset of 45mm on a 8.5 wheel would give you 12mm less clearance than stock. (Assuming identical wheel design profiles)
Very unlikely that it would fit.

There are a few 19" ET38 wheels on the Hartman site that don't require spacers for that same reason.

If you like it that much, you could always try a test fit... you never know!
Worst case scenario, you could just get some spacers and be good to go.
I've lived with spacers on many of my past cars and they're not that big of a deal.
They were a better soloution than passing up on wheels I really liked. :-)
