Default Yet another wheel fitment question...but this one's "fat"

Fronts:
19 x 8.5 +29 offset
245/35/19 Toyo Proxies

Rears:
19 x 9.5 +32 offset
285/40/19 Dunlop S9000s

How will those fit on my GS? The offset looks fine but they tires are a fat setup which I don't really have experience with. How much will I rub if any? Any fat setups want to chime in?

I think that you might have the tire sizes backwards a little. 245/40F and 285/35R sounds like it would go better. 285/40 woud be Gi-normous on our cars

I'm not sure about the fronts but I had 285 35 on 19x10/45 offset on the rears and they were rubbing had to go back to 275, 30's.

285/35 will rub and especially if you have a 285/40. You will need to roll the quarter panels
