Will it fit? yea itll fit.

But you need to stretch tires, and roll/cut fenders with some negative camber for sure

post pics of the wheels

what kind of look are you going for? If you dont want aggressive wheels do not get these. If you dont wanna do work to get them to fit then dont get these.

If you do and are going for a nice stance with nice drop on coilovers or air then ya do it.

here's the situation, I'm coming from a 350z and rather then sell my volk sf winnings that I had on there and get new rims I'd rather just use the same rims. the offsets are pretty conservative considering but the width still seems fairly high. I guess the only way to find out will be to put them on.

the GS I'm buying is still on stock suspension, would you still guess it won't fit?

I do plan on putting on springs or coilovers but with a very mild drop (not going for the slammed/bagged look) I'm thinking 2" max. do think I'll still have problems?

thanks for the info.

Yes, those wheels would fit. I had offsets that were as aggressive (19x9 +26 and 19x10.5 +30), and all I did was roll the front fenders and shave the rears. But The amount of drop concerns me, because your wheels will be poking out about 1/4" - 1/2" with only a 2" drop.
