Question Wheels 19", Offset +12?

1998 GS300-
I have a good opportunity to purchase a complete set of brand new Varrstoen ES 1.1.2. I wanted the offset +22 but the only problem is the offset is +12 on these. They are 19x10.5(R) and 19x9.5(F) Will they still fit or should I pass?

I also have Megan LP Coilovers to go with what ever wheel I choose. I am going for a flush tucked look.

They fit. Depends how low you want to go (the lower more fender work) A guy on their FB has +0 on a GS. +22 would be best tho.

It's going to require a slight pull on all 4 corners, maybe more in the front since you're on coilover. I had almost the same specs, but I'm on air suspension, so it makes driving a lot easier.

19x9+3 and 19x10+17

It will be be a few months before the +22 offset are in. If I go 20" my options are much greater with this size But I felt with a 20" and the look im trying to go for (flush and tucked) even More fender work would be needed. Is this true for a 19" vs 20" and wanting to be tucked and flush? Is 20" more work and problems then 19"?
