Are these good offsets?

Default Are these good offsets?

Hi guys, I'm seriously considering a set of wheels being sold locally but was wandering if i can get opinions on the following specs.

Size: 19
Width: (F) 8.5J (R) 9.5J
Offset: (F) 39mm (R) 45mm

is this going to work? any fender mods or spacers needed?

99 GS300 stock calipers with Tein CS.

when referencing rominl's write up:
http://www.lexusgonewild.com/article...lFitment.shtml

the closest specs i can get is

19x8.5 +38 19x9.5 +38 "conservative "

the 1mm difference in front shouldn't be a problem. my concern is in the rear and whether the difference between +38 and +45 will be a problem.

Please advise.

Thanks Guys

according to my VIP Car magazine most GS's have offsets around +30 front and rear with eiter 8.5F and 9.5R or 9F and 10R for width. But asome are using 19 9.5 +40 rears and they look decent. You will most likely have to add spacers though, at least in the rear.

They are conservative offsets and should fit without any fender mods.

so i'm pretty safe as far as the outer part of the rim.

How's about the inner? do you think it will rub on the inside?

Thanks man.

those are good consevative numbers. no need to worry about inside, not even close

and i would definitely be careful with numbers in vip car mags. a lot of times their numbers, you won't be able to fit unless you do a lot of fender mods and put on some pretty bad negative cambers

Nope. The fronts should be fine. For comparison, the L-Tuned 18 rears were 18x9.5 +45. I know that they are 18s vs 19s but that does not effect width and offest.
