i say you still need to raise the offset more in order to do that. the spec you talking about is very very far out

I just moved my rims to my brother GS. They are WALD 20 x 9 (+37) and 20 x 10 (+37), and they fit almost perfectly. The rear is OK, the front rims protrudes by ~ 2mm, nothing serious, as long as my bro doesn't lower the car further. Suspension wise, he rides on Espelir. 19" vs. 20" gives much difference on fender gaps, the car seemed tall on 19" w/ espelir springs, and now with 20" it looked much much better. So I'd say 20 x 9 (+ 39 or 40) is perfect for the front, and 20 x 10 (+37) for the rear.

10 +37 in the back is hard to work with on the GS, if you lower the car i guarantee it will rub. you need to shave the fender. ask lxogood and neo about it
