Bad Idea? Will this look funny? ("this" = 40 offset 19x8 wheels all around)

Default Bad Idea? Will this look funny? ("this" = 40 offset 19x8 wheels all around)

Hey guys I have a chance to get a set of 19's for a pretty good price on the type of the wheels. I am worried though on the sizes. They are 19x8 with an offset of 40 all around. Will this look funny on the GS?

Thanks,
Elliott

Thanks for posting the pic and changing the title! I like the design but will it look thin at all? Or too inside the bumper? Will it cause any problems? How do you think these will look on a Chapagne GS3?

Thanks,
Elliott

what do you mean by look thin? if the offset is 40, it'll sit flush with the fender (if that's what you mean by too inside the bumper) and if these are hyper silver, they'll look fine on a champagne GS...you plan on droppin' the car too, right? that'll help the look a lot, and also the type of tires you put on the wheels will make a difference...

A 40 offset will sit flush with the fender? That is what I meant by too thin. Thanks for the help. How much do you think it would cost to get these wheels chromed in the future?

Thanks,
Elliott

probably not quite flush in the rear. my oem 18s are 8 inches wide and +45 offset and they are not quite flush in the rear, but close enough for me. yours will be 5mm closer to the fender than mine.

ah, my bad lol i was sayin' it'd sit flush because my rears are flush and have about a 40 offset, but also my rears are 19x9.5 so my mistake lol wasn't takin' into account the different tire sizes, but it should still sit very nicely with the rear fender... as far as the chroming would go... it would depend on where you go, you'd have to find some custom shop to do it for you...
