Default Just ordered wheels(Work Meisters) need some help!

Hey guys so I just ordered wheels. Pretty much I have an idea how they will look but I want some other members input on these. I dont know much about wheel fitment and offset, etc. I got the Work Meister S1's 3pc. Heres the specs:

Front
19x8.5 +31 Offset

Rear
19x10 +29 Offset

Keep in mind I have some coilovers on the way and plan on slaming the car. Also I want it to be flush with the fenders and pretty aggressive. Fender rolling is not an issue for me I will be getting that done. I also wanted to make sure a BBK will clear. For the guys out there with a lot of wheel fitment experience, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Should've went with lower offsets. Offsets in the low twenties to high teens will be flush on the 2GS. For BBK fitment, you should order high disk for the front.

If possible could some of you guys list your wheel size and offset and some pics! That would be awsome. Just trying to get an idea of how my wheels will look. Thanks guys

whitevomr - if you search there is a thread 'Pic Request: Aggressive wheel fitments on 2GS' or something like that. it has several pictures, including those of Chrispy's car (19x9 19x10 +23) along with shoeshine's car (19x9 19x10 +21) and several others. But those two i mentioned are good fitment at a reasonable coilover driveable height (though Chrispy was on CS and proably would have gone lower if he could!)

so i would say a 10mm spacer in the rear to get flush, and about a 15mm or so in front
