I just installed a set of these and I am liking them a lot. 19x9 +40 all around and the fitment is perfect. Tires are Michelin PS4S 245/40/19 up front and 275/35/19 in the rear. The 275s seem a bit big for this car so I'll likely go with 245 square all around on the next set. The slightly larger diameter of the 245/275 combo fits the wheel wells nicely on stock suspension.
In person they look more OEM, especially with the black center caps and that they are more round around the spoke edges than I expected. I was concerned they would appear to be aftermarket which was a look I didn't want.
I originally bought a set of RC-F wheels but the eBay seller never shipped them out. I'm happy they didn't because the 10" rear would have probably seemed much too large.
Compared to the stock 18x8 setup, weight savings with the forged wheels are about 36 lbs total.
I handled the tire purchase and installation through Discount Tire and between swapping TPMS sensors, hand torquing the new oem spline drive lugnuts and mounting and balancing without a scratch, they did an amazing job.
I love the 4GS with these rims. Thanks for the information regarding the tires. I was deciding if I should go with the 275/35/19 for rears but might not be able to since I’m lowered. I was going to get mine powder coated when I first got them but everything blended well with my color scheme.

If you are lowered I probably would go with a smaller tire. It's still inboard of the fender and as flush as can be but a 245 would probably be best. I also realized I had a typo in my post, the offset is -40 and not +40.
Love those rims, I plan on getting my set this summer, after finishing my performance upgrades. Is your GS an AWD based on you running 19x9 all around? I was planning on running 19x8 all around but if you have an AWD, I’ll run 19x9 with a 245/40/19 square setup. Great choice!!

Thanks! Its RWD. I would fit 19x9 all around if you can, it makes such a difference with the stance at all angles versus the 8" wheels. 245/40/19 is what I would recommend as well, whether you go with the 8" or 9".
Yes they are and I don't need (and always would avoid) spacers if they are flush, I am curious, why do you ask?
So these rims have been on my build list since I got my 4GS a year ago! I have a pair of tanabe springs to install (the wheel gap always bothers me), and had a set of spacers to install with the rims if they were not flush with the fender. Getting a set this summer, finishing up performance portion sometime soon.

Nice! They have a -40 offset which is more generous than the other OEM wheels. the 19x9 sit perfect and need no spacers.
