Default 8.5" all around and 45 offset

I have been looking for info on cl but I just cant seem to find an exact answer. I found a set of Bersaglio Spoke's 19x8.5 and 45 offset at a great price. These look very similar to the Lowenhart BR5's. Would this offset work for a gs400? Also what size tires should I use? 245/35/19? Thanks in advance.

Pretty conservative setup. The wheels won't be flushed with the fender but they should work fine. Tires are right too. Maybe all the reading paid off after all.

yeah it will fit not problem, but it won't look perfect

with that high of an offset, you just need to make sure the spokes don't hit the calipers

Thanks for the info guys. I was thinking maybe a small H&R spacer to make up for the high offset. Does anyone know if the company Bersaglio is affiliated with Lowenhart?

How far from the fenders, front and rear, would a 45 offset be with a 8.5??

I would love a staggered set up but these rims are used and they are 8.5 and 45 offset all around.
