I've seen those wheels listed for the GS and I'm seen pics of them in staggered 19's on a GS so I'm pretty sure they'll fit.

I'd be a little concerned about the chrome on those though, from what I've read they are notorious for peeling chrome and a somewhat poor quality finish. I like the design though, they're nice looking wheels but the finish issues would be a deal breaker for me.

Not sure about the wheel offset. I don't completely understand what the numbers represent.

I have H&R springs so it dropped my car about 1.25" if I remember correctly.

I think my biggest concern is the actually thickness of the tire. I don't want the front and the back to have any difference in the thickness. I don't like that rubberband look but I don't want my car having tractor thick tires either. Is whats listed above a good thickness on the tires?

This is exactly what I'm worried about... I checked on Tirerack, Tire I'm going to buy will be Kumho Ecsta SPT, 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.
The overall diameter for the 245 are 25.8" and 275 are 25.5"
