Will a 19x10 +35 offset Standard A-Disk rim clear the front GS350 Brakes?

+35 offset on the 350 is definitely a no go, unless you use spacers.
350s have larger front brakes than the 300s
+35 will clear the 06 300 about 1-2millimeters....I know because i test fitted this.

yeah I was afraid of that... I didn't want to run a spacer because the rim is x10 in the front already. But how much of a spacer do you think I'll need to clear the caliper?

don't even need to look at offsets. the fact that it's standard disk, it won't clear the calipers up front at all, not with like 15 or 20mm spacers. and by then the wheel will be way past the front fender

it's the spoke design. that means the spokes dont' curve out as much as R (iirc) disk, which means high disk, to clear the calipers. A disk will have more lip, but flatter spokes
