Default 19X9 in front on a GS???

According to Rominl's fitment guide, 19X9 in the front is under "aggressive". Is that just with the indicated offset from the chart or are 19X9 in the front ALL aggressive? Has anyone run 19X9 in the front with the Eibach/Bilstein setup without issue (ie. rubbing, scraping, etc.) If so, what offset. BTW, I have a 2001 GS300. Thanks.

well 9 is wide for the front of the GS. you have to keep a rather low offset to make sure you dont' hit the suspension on the inside. however that will also mean you might get pretty close to the fender outside and possibly rub a bit. so that's why i put it on the aggressive side

defintely depends on tires and stuff too i guess. 19x9 +38 that's just like 8.5 +32. i know i have 20s but my 8.5 +32 with nero rubbed pretty bad at 1/2 finger gap before i did some mod
