If you dont want to do fender work , stick with high 30's . But here is a site that you can look at to get some ideas

like mentioned above, rimtuck is an good start to get some ideas. not sure what kind of look your going for or how far you're willing to go as far as fender mods but keep in mind that lippage varies between different types/design of wheels even when having the same width and offset. for instance the work varianza f2s runs more lip than the work varianza d3s despite having the same exact specs. so you can't just base offset off the look of another rim. the disk type of the wheel also plays a role. learning how to read the spec sheet of the different wheels (if available) your interested in will help out greatly. As they provide info like the rim depth based off a certain width, offset and disk type....take time, get to know what you want as this will be one of, if not the biggest investment for your beloved gs....here's my setups and as you'll see despite the F2S's being in the mid 30 offset range, they still run about the same lip as the Amistad's running a low 20 offset. hope this helped
