yes they will fit, and front and rear will match very well. as long as both front and rear fenders are shaved or rolled, you should have no problem
just to clarify, did you mean its ok to run:

19x 8.5 +32
19x10 +38

or

19x8.5 +35
19x10 +38

thanks

i havent decided what rims to get yet.

yeah, if you are playing with the fenders anyway, i don't see why not. if you want to back off a bit, 34 or 35 will help of course

Those are very aggressive offset for GS. That would be the ideal size for the SC430 for the rear but those offsets are even aggressive for SC430 in the front.

19x9 +25 (WOW)

nop, 9 +25 is not aggressive at all. gsxotic is running 9 +24 with 245/35/19 and no rubbing issue. i'd say 9 +24 is back you want to run on sc430 though

for the rear, 10 +30 is very mild. you can do 10 +24 no problem. that's basically what i have (if i have 10 instead of 10.5)

Hey Rominl,

How is this guy able to fit 9 +25 on front wheel of GS. Isn't that too aggressive?

no he can't. that's too aggressive (both front and back). i was mostly talking about the fitment of those wheels on the sc430
