That's the right fit but I don't believe the black wheels come with chrome lip.

Go 19x9.5 +35 for the rear. It's 10mm lower offset, which will push your wheel out almost .5", which will make all the difference. Run the 8.5 in the front if you don't want rubbing. 9.5+45 in the front will hit the inner suspension arm.

from
19x8.5+38 19x10+43 rolled fenders when slammed

19x8.5+38 19x10+43 rolled fenders when slammed

19x9 19x10 +25 to now shaved fenders and wider front

19x9 -18 19x11.5 -51 , lost with thoughts of where to start lol

i would not stagger anything so small on the rear of our gs IMO gonna look so sunk

that only gives you 3mm of difference in lip from the front...I'd go with a lower offset than a +45 on the rear

i think it is the best to ask the vendor selling the wheels. they will know what is the best fitment for your car.

Nope he did the right thing by asking here. The vendor might know about the wheels but we know about our cars.
