Default Anyone running 19x8.5 +32 Fronts and 19x9.5 +35 Rears on there Second Gen GS?

Found a deal on a brand new set of ADR M-Classics. I wanted to stay close to factory like around +42 to +45 for an offset (personal reasons) and non-staggered but it's hard to past this deal up that I found. I will if need be though.

I'll run a 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear. My main thing is that I want the wheels to be flush with the fender or even in just a tad bit (personal reasons).

If anyone is running this same setup (or very close to it) and have pics or input let me know. I'm looking to buy within the next day.

Thanks

Go ahead and buy, you'll still need spacers to be flush...

Probably will get them. My last car 3.2TL made me extra cautious on offsets. The wheels stuck out a tad even though the offset was recommended. Didn't look bad with negative camber but it bothered me every time I looked at my car.
Have had close to 15 sets of wheels in the day and never this issue..

ADR wheels can be had for a "deal" everywhere right now. Just be sure your deal is an actual deal and go for it.

im using 20 x 8.5 +31 and 20 x 8.5 +31 in the rear, it sits perfectly flushed in the front and rear, and to me did not require spacers to be flushed. i'm using 235's in the front and 255's in the rear. Good luck

Yeah go ahead and get em. Those are really conservative offsets. They won't be sticking out at all.

My offsets are the same but with 20's 235/45 front 275/30 rear, no rubbing they sit flush. You should be just fine with those wheels....
