Default 20MM Offset, good for GS?

I want to get a certain set of rims. They are 19", the width is 9.5F and 10.5R but the thing that bothers me most is the 20mm offset. Is that going to lead to any problems? I have stock suspension on a fully stock car. Let me know

Pass on those wheels....use "search" for proper wheel fitment

correct, you will want a higher offset, look for 35-45 mm offsets...

Those offset are very very very aggressive for GS. Those offset are even aggressive for SC430 and amongst all the Lexus model, SC430 take the most aggressive offset. The offset on those wheels fmust be for a 350Z or G35 Coupe. Even Z or Z, with those offset, you may have to roll your fender a little. I have SC430 and I also had 350Z just up until few month ago so I am familiar with the offsets on Z.

No need to roll G or Z fenders. The wheels on my G35 are 20 offset plus I have the fat set-up. I'm lowered and there's still room to spare. Even with 20 in wheels no rolling would be needed with the right tires.

I agree 20 offset is too aggressive for the GS. It can be done but but why push the envelope like that. Classy car deserves the right firment.
