Default Rim fitment?

I orginally bought a set of 19" Work Euroline DZ for another car that I had, but now I recently brought home a '06 GS300 AWD. Kinda wish I did my research and looked for a RWD. Anyways I'm trying to get opinions on how the offsets would look on the car. The offsets are 19x8+35 and 19x9+30, and if need be I'll add some spacers. Here is pic of actual rims. Thanks in advance.

The front is fine, the rear is a bit low I think. If you're not going to lower your car then it may work

9+30 is the same as 10+42, if you use 265 tires i think it will be ok

After reading rominl's comment, I think you should be fine either way.

sorry for thread jacking, but I am in the same situation - 18x9 +31mm all around going on a 3G GS + stock suspension + AWD.

Based on the specs provided by rominl, they should fit with 245/40/18s? or I need 225/40 or 235/40 for front?

Thanks. I guess it's safer to run 235/40/18s.

Nobody has this setup or similiar setup?

9 +30 is near identical to 10 +42. When you say it will be ok, meaning without any modification to the fender/wheel wale inner plastic or clips? knowing when compare to stock, a 265 tire is 10mm more & the wheel is about 28mm more to each side of the wheel/tire?

I ask because I had a 20mm spacer on the rear stock 18" wheels and 245/40 tires but it rubs a bit when hit big bumps. I downgraded to 15mm then no rub at all. My GS is slightly lowered and No fender mods.
