Default calling all gs400 wheel gurus!

hey guys,
I've just recently purchased a 98 gs4. i picked up tein cs today (pics will follow) with edfc. i am trying to run

19x8.5 fronts
19.10 rear with lip

i want to get 32 offset in front and 38 in rear, tell me what you guys think. btw i am planning on having sprewell racing do the fender rolls for front and rear. i have read the wheel fitment and offset guide that someone posted, but i want to hear opinions from you guys directly. Thanks in advance!

38 rear is close but still ok with fendor mod but 32 front even with fendor work is tight, I think Rominl was running that offset in the front before with his her's...

It all depends, to be honest you can go aggressive and have no fender mods at all, if you get the right product. What type of wheels did you want to get?

great, my beeper goes off all the time @_@

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
