i also have 18x9 with a 19 offset on my GS. Im running 265/35/18 and it rubs like a mother fawker....im thinkin about stretching some 245s and seeing if that works well....but yea ur gonna rub ALOT in the rear and most likely quite a bit in the front....

Those offsets are REALLY low. I think I would stay away unless you are ready for some SERIOUS modding of the fenders
