Default 19" Wheel & Tire offset question on 08 GS350

Hello, I am new to the forum.
I have question about 19" wheel on my 08 GS350.
I was thinking about getting 19X8.5 for the front and 19X9.5 for the rear with tire size 245/35/19 & 275/30/19.
My car isn't lowered. Will it rub?
The offset is 32 and 35 for rear.

Please give me your opinion. Thanks.

i knew it! i alway connect your name with the inspire spoiler you had! in fact, i still got pics of your TL somewhere on my computer! LOL! if i recall correctly, you had the lowenhart BR5 wheels on your TL? i got rid of my TL last october in a trade in for my new ride.


to answer your question...personally i would go with a higher offset if you plan on lowering your GS in the future. to be on the safe side, check the link below and see if it fits (note the comments given):

aha! i knew it was lowenhart something or other!

what do you mean by that lowered? you plan to lower a little bit only? if yes, i'd strongly recommend proper wheel fitment (correct offset & tire size).

let the wife drive the TL...and you drive the GS...that way, you have a new mod project to work on! (big OK smiley would come really handy right about now! LOL!)

my goodness, i also thought the name is familiar..... nice to see you here too man, after so many years

i think both front and rear are marginal, the tires might be the problem when you lower it
