Default Offset For An Air Bagged GS. Want Fat Lip.

I'm looking into some Volk wheels on an air bagged GS. Of course I want a fat lip as well. Will these work?
Front: 19x8 +32
Rear: 19x9 +32
Or next question, what is the lowest offset possible for a GS laying frame?

Where do you think I got the sizes I listed. That tells me a lot. It sure does tell me that this will be okay when the car is laying frame.

what is laying frame? just lay on the ground with most negative camber?

if so, then you can put much more aggressive offset. the offset you posted are beyond conservative, they are too high

Yeah if your going that low, that mean the wheels will be strutting out tons. Offset in the teens then. Since its custom, you may have to do it by trial and error. I don't know of any GSs that are that low here.

at least the offset on jon's car is no problem, and he hs 10 +24 in the back. honestly i think 10 +15 will still work if he adjust the negative camber all the way
