Default offset question-already searched

hey guys, I've lurked here for a long time, but am finally about to buy some wheels for my GS. I think I found a good set on ebay, but was hoping for some input before I buy.

My car is stock suspension now. I will be doing either springs/shocks or coilovers in the next month.

I want a flush look, but I'm a little nervous of doing much of any body mods just to fit wheels. Also, I plan to run normal camber when I lower the car, so a crazy negative camber setup just to fit wheels is not what I want.

Anyways, here's the wheels that I would LOVE to buy if they will fit.

Lowenhart LS1's
(F) 18x8.5 +19 offset
(R) 18x9.5 +25 offset

I'd really appreciate some thoughts/opinions about fitting these wheels. I've seen some setups on here that are really close sizes to these, but wanted some more input.

thanks,
bret

Those will work but you'll need to do some work on the fenders and run a stretched tire set-up.

Here's a link to fellow CL memeber JZZ30TT's set-up with pics. For reference, his set-up is a bit more aggressive than the offsets you've listed.

His specs are as follows

18x9 +13 225/40
18x10 +7 245/40
