Default Need Help on size of wheels ASAP!

I have a 98 Gs4, and I'm looking at some wheels to buy, hopefully today. I need help on if they will fit properly on my GS. I read Rominl's fitment guide and they might not work.

I do not want to roll or shave the fendor at ALL.

Here is the size I am looking at:

19x8.5 offset 35 Tires 245/35/19
19x9.5 offset 35 Tires 275/30/19

Please let me know if these will work. Again I want a conservative set-up and don't know if these will work

Default Thanks Rominl

Thanks again Rominl, I just put a deposit down on some wheels today. You mentioned that the front will fit fine with the 19x8.5 +35 offset. Just to confirm I will not have to do any fendor modification on the front correct?

The back I ended up getting 19x9.5 +40 offset, that seems to be a better fit than the +35 offset.

Thanks again!

Default Hey AZDesertGS

There Jaz wheels called Trinity with the black face.

I'm nervous about the offset, in the front, seems close but Rominl said that they should work, just need confirm this because I don't want to do any fendor mods. I also will be lowerning the car.

Maybe if I go with 235/35 might solve this issue with rubbing, but I would rather get the wider tires if I can.

the front, yes, as long as you use 235 or 245 i don't think you will have a problem. should be good to go

for the back, if you use 275 i am pretty sure you are good with the +40
