dude, if the bolt pattern isn't correct, that just sucks. why not sell them and get different wheels, maybe with the correct bolt patter and offset? (maybe some 19's again if you really want)

You could probably run 19s in the rear, but in the front you'd probably only be able to get away with 165 width tires, otherwise there'd be a lot of rub.
I think the best combo is either 17 or 17 in the front and 18 in the rear. 18s fit, and look good (if it's an attractive wheel.)

FUZZY LOGIC REINVENTS THE WHEEL!
Okay, so you wanna fit those Free Bling 19s on your 2 Gen? Rrrrrright....
Here's whatcha do:
1. Replace your stock wheel studs with 5" racing studs.
2. Add a hub spacer. Make it about 3" thick. This will allow the wheel tire to offset and clear the suspension on the inside.
3. Slap on a bolt pattern adapter. It will be some POS overseas mfg.'d junk metal item available only at a place like Pep Boys.
4. Remove your front fenders.
5. Slap those free bling 19s on and cinch them down!
6. Throw away your fenders because they'll never fit your car again.
7. Never drive over 50 mph.
Back-up Plan:
These were free wheels? Then give them away, because they're worthless to you.
Good luck!

Fuzzy, above 50 mph, here are some of the things that can happen if you rig and run with those Free Bling 19s:
1. You'll pass one of those big chrome gas tankers and see your car in the chrome. You'll bling yourself blind and crash.
2. Your wheels won't just shimmy and shake, they will explode off the car, each one shooting out at about 1,000 mph and you will kill about 50 people in a giant freeway schmazz.
3. Your girlfriend will dump you and guys in pink pintos will start honking and waving.
There's more, but I just wanted to break you in easy.
Happy Rotaring!

okay then......now that it's all been blown clear out of proportion....Fuzzy, some of them were right, most of the people on here are speed nuts, and they only way they'll even start to go for bling is if it's some small part that's almost unnoticeable (body kits aside) and has absolutely no demeaning attributes...some of us, on the other hand (mostly us "slow" vert owners) don't mind a little show with the go, or without it for that fact. I say if you can make them fit, go for it, but some of them are probably right about the rubbing...
