Exclamation Will this rim size fit good on my GS????

Looking at some rims, the sizes are 20x8.5+40 and 20x10+35, how will these fit on my 2000 GS300? Any comments, I would want a flush look and have some room to drop it at the same time..... Let me know your thoughts!!!! I'm a noob when it comes to offsets... Maybe somebody is running this setup already on their GS???

i think mines is the same except for a deeper offset in the rear, i seem to remember + 25 or something... i don't believe i can tuck them at all but a 1 inch drop with stiffer dampening would be cool... my tires/wheels sorta stick out a little wider than the car which looks okay (not all mexican looking/ lowrider) but i can't really put any tire dressing on or if i drive through a puddle it splashes it all down the side of the car.

maybe i have a bigger offset in both, i forget. i know if i put a dollar bill in my rear lip that the lip is wider than the bill. its like a 4 inch chrome lip in the rear and a 2.5 inch lip in the front if this helps.

Fronts will fit fine. The rears will require that you either take out the fender trim and/or a bit of shaving. 245/35 and 275/30 should work fine.
