Default Front +20mm Rear +42mm fit '99 GS?

19x8.5 +20mm and 19.x9.5 +42mm off a 350z I believe fit a lowered '99 GS without any modifications?

Rear for sure, however front might be very tight. I think it will look goofy with this set up

Not very good specs for the GS. TOO aggressive in front and not enough in the rear.

NOT VERY GOOD Specs for 350Z also. Its the other way around on Z. Front wheel will OK but rears are too conservative for Z. I know because I use to have a Z Roadster up until 2 month ago.

good point. i agree that's a very weird setup for the z as well

The front is gona have to take some fender rolling at least for sure.

The rear is pretty conservative..might wanna space that out at least 15mm if u wanna somewhat even match the front

I did the calculations on that, and the rear 19x9.5 +42 sits 9mm further inboard than the front 19x8.5 +20.

This will look very strange- the front will be almost outside the fenders and the rears will be tucked in about 19mm (3/4") from the fender. Just to make it look right you'll need spacers on the rear.

If these really came off of a 350Z, it must have looked awful. You'd need a 25mm spacer to get that 19x9.5 +42 anywhere close to the fender.

Weird set-up. If these offsets are correct, I'd keep shopping.

lol, very funny but well put, bob. i just looked at the numbers as well. it must look very weird on the z (or the gs). i actually wonder if that's 9.5 +24 front or if it's really +42. it probably makes more sense being +24 (for z)
