depends on the style, 90% of time you can do 19x9+10....that is what ricky(aka hi98gs i thinlk)

on the offsets, again depends on the brand/model of rim, +37-+45 should be fine...assuming you have stock break, you prob do not need hi-disk

what wheel do you have in mind?

yes 19x9 can fit, high disk is not necessary unless you have a big brake kit. Will is correct about the offset. he must have been doing his homework.

The Sebring ITC wheel is made by Rays. Ask the guys at Mackin Induistries (Volk Racing importer) for help on that one. www.mackinindustries.com

Thanks for the tip will! I got to him already..see other post

may be they only have limited offsets in 19x9s, and none would work on the GS...:eek:
