Default offset question

i was just wondering how these offsets would look on my car which is a gs300 99. like will they sit to far in or sit to far out?

19*8 with a 34-36 offset and a
19*10 for the rear with a 40 offset

with 235/35/19 tires
and 275/30/19 for the rear...


thanks

the front is very safe

the rear you might rub a bit but take off the fender tab or maybe shave a little and you are good to go

This will depend on how low you are, since wheel clearance from the fender get deeper the lower you go. At stock height to an inch drop, it will look almost flush.

I have seen a 19x10 +37 (w/ 275/30/19) fit w/o fender modifications, so a +40 should clear (since it's 3mm deeper). In the event that is does not, you can just unscrew the molding that goes on top of the lip. This simple trick can add another 3mm clearance if you need it.
