You'll have less trouble if you go with +44/+45 in the rear. You can have +38 in the front to be more agressive.

YES. If you have 3 people sitting in the back or you drop your car 1.5".

I really think you are asking for trouble.

TinyGS has 19x10 +41 with 285/30 tire and had to cut the fender with a mild lowering.

Personally, I think the PERFECT offset on the GS is +39 front and +41 rear with 8.5f and 9.5r.

If you have a great deal on the rims, you might be able to have a machine shop mill off a few mm of the pad. Put a 275 tire (too small) and you might be ok.
