Default 19" Work Equip

I have a connection on a set of Work Equips for dirt cheap

They are
19x8 + 33
19x9 + 38


Does anyone know if these offsets are good for the my GS.
From searching it should ok except the fronts might be tucked in a tad...

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

The front won't be too bad. The rear will be inset a little but both specs are safe sizes. I doubt if you'll have rubbing problems unless you plan to run the fat tire setup.

The tires on them are 225/35 and 235/35 so hopefully theyll be all good. Thanks for the help =)

Do you have a choice with tire size? I think you'd be better off with 235/40 and 265/35.

Actually I was off with my numbers too. For some reason, I was thinking 18s. It is not too bad for 19s. It is not optimal but it will work. Good luck with them. They are nice rims.

Lenny, those specs are okay, but PLEASE do not run those tires, they are way too small. Those are IS300 sized tires so in all seriousness the wheels will look like rollerskates on a GS if you run those!

Good luck otherwise
