Depends on the wheel width.
For example, 19x7.5 +42 looks horrid on the GS.
Also, depends on the look you are going for.
Back in the day I was running 20x9 & +35 & 20x10 +35
and people said "no way, that's too aggressive, it can't possibly work..."
Now guys are running offsets in the teens... or less if the car is really slammed.
Funny how times have changed.

It realy comes down to diameter, widths, and tire size, if you want someone to help you pick the right offset that will not require fender mods. We can throw out numbers all they, but they mean nothing unless you got all the other numbers picked out.

it also matters on what size tire your going to be using ! me personally i would run a 38-40mm offset in the front on a 8-8.5" rim and 38-45mm offset in the rear on a 9.5-10" rim depending on how much your going to lower it ! and you wont have to do any cutting or rolling of any fenders !
