is 19x9.5 +38 too wide for 2gen GS fronts???
i have searched all the threads and still havent gotten a clear answer... i am lookin at some 19" rims for a 2000 GS3 with a
19x9.5 +38 offset for the front and 19x10.5 +45 for the rear
im pretty sure the rear wont be too much of a problem but the front worries me a little bit. i dont mind stretching tires either, if its needed. oh and im probably gonna have to roll the fenders too right?? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for the input

I have been thinking of going up to 9.5 myself from 9.0
I'm going to look into what it would take for the fronts. As far as the rears go, you can put 19x10.5 +29 with some fender trimming. I know this because I have that setup.
I run 19x9+30 and 19x10.5+29 and the fronts can definitely handle more.
Whats the reason for jumping up to 9.5?

Not trying to ruin a sale, but I've seen pictures of 19x 9.5 and it was very close to the strut.
Post Pics of inner tire clearance please.
Edit:
Less than 10K miles on the entire setup. This setup requires rolling the rears and a very slight pull. On the right front there is a scratch on the rim (nicked a curb) - not bad at all. Any other inquires shoot me an e-mail mariosracing@yahoo.com - I am in the south florida area.

I am pondering going with 295/30/19 for the rear and 265/35/19... My offsets are +35 front and +38 in Rear.....
What ya think>>>>>>>>>>>

Dude you aren't ruining my sale. I have one finger's width of clearance on the inside. I was very methodical before selecting offsets and test fitted numerous setups before custom ordering my setup.
The fronts will rub on the outer fender liner but not enought to remove the fender liner, at least with my 255s on the front. I know there are at least two other members running similar front offsets to mine.
