Default need help with tire fitment and spacers.

i just got some rims. i know the lug pattern are the same as my car but not sure if they fit or not.

the front are 19 by 9. and i measure from the back where the stud go threw and its about 6 1/2 inches from the rear lip. and the rim from face lip to back lip is 9 3/4 inches deep.

the back are 19 by 10. and from the back of the back of hub to the lip is 6 1/2 inches also. and the face lip to the back lip is 11 1/2 inches deep.

Do i need spacers to put these rims on a 01 gs300?

and if i can what size tires should i get?

The specs you give sound like 19x9, + 35 offset and 19x10 +35 offset, from your numbers, your offset calculates out to like +75 on the front, but that would be super rare, so probably a small error in measurement... The rears calculate to +50, which is closer to a popular fitment, but I can still see how a small error in measurement would not be right...

275/35-19 and 245/35-19 are pretty popular sizes for the GS's, you could also do 275/30-19 and 245/35-19 - either should fit given those conservative offsets...
