Default Wheel fitment opinions needed. :)

Ok so I have a 98 LS4 and am planning on running 19x9 +20 fronts and 19x10 +12 rears. Tell me what you think and maybe what you think i'll need to do to fit em. I kinda have an idea but I just wanted to hear opinions and ideas. Oh and they're Work Euroline type N. Thanks everybody. Here's some pics of the wheels.

Aw YEA dollar baller status!
Here is the front lip


Front tire stretch 235-35-19


Rear lip


Rear tire stretch also 235-35-19, I was suprised at how little the stretch looks on a 10" wide wheel.

fronts will work (nice and aggressive, so you'd best have modded fenders) but only if they're high disk, if not then you're screwed since any spacer will give you way too much poke.

rears will be fine, a little more conservative than my setup, you don't need a 235/35 stretch.

I knew you'd be one of the first to give me some help. heh heh. But yea the fronts I through on but they hit scrape the caliper, I got some 8mm spacers so we'll see how that goes. If it does poke out too far, then it's time for some "different" fenders.
