to me, 275/30/19 on a 10.5 is mild stretch. that's what you wanted right?
265/30 would be moderate stretch.

+17 and +18 offsets for GT-S are usually 9.5 and 10.5 widths.

I just picked up a set of 19’ Rays and was offered these tires for a great price. Would these tires fit my 19’s General Exclaim UHP front 235/30/19 and 265/30/19.

i was being sarcastic i just dont think you would want some poke with oems, plus poke means the rim sticks out and the tire is tucked.

Hi! I have a set of VSXX that I am running with 25mm spacers front and back to achieve a relatively flush stance;

however, I want to get a new set of work meisters with the proper offset so I can maximize LIP and FLUSHNESS without the use of spacers. Can someone help me out please?
My fender's are rolled in the rear,
I will be on stance gr+ pro coilovers,
I have oem brembos
19x9.5F and 19x10.5 OR 11 asking for your (yes you) advice
what disks (R?) will just clear those brembos and allow me to get max lip(5" for meisters right?) and max flush? (L-disk, O-disk?)
My tires right now are 245/35/19 and 285/35/19 I don't mind stretching them a bit, I want a clean look and nothing redonkulus where the barrel is exposed.

^Sorry, can't help you with the wheels (someone here will don't worry) But I just had to say... Dude! That 2nd pic is freaking awesome! U should post it in the 'photo of the day' thread.
The first one is really cool too, but I love the detail on the raindrops.

Here are some that I can recall at the moment...

1. analog clock
2. volume buttons.... instead of *****
3. plastic everything. even the chrome stereo volume button ring.
4. front seat control when you have passenger in the rear. too many requirements to have the seat go back to its original place. (according to manual)
5. seat belts trying to cut off my head and it doesn't roll back in by it self.
6. front and rear plate holders. who designed the bolts and the holder.. the plastic anchor snaps off with ease making it impossible to secure the nut.
7. passenger side glove compartments... why so ugly?
8. no aux input...up to 04 anyway.
9. headlight unit. how are we supposed to replace a burnt out bulbs?
10. shift **** leather is worn out pretty bad.
11. how come the trunk release button doesn't have a light?
12. smart key?

That's all i can come up with now...

It's not a hate list but a list of things that bothered me a bit. I still love the car tho.. Hey, it's a G.

do you want to keep those tires? if you do i'd go with 10" front and 11" rear.
if not, go with 9.5" front with 235/35 and 10.5" rear with 275/30.
R-disk front and O-disk rear.
offsets: single digit positives for front and rear (or negatives, if you got ***** )
your car's gotta be slammed to pull off the look.
