Default GXP Saleen rim offset question?

Ive seen a gp gt running with 18x9 saleen replicas @ 30 offset.
I plan to run 245's in the back, and 275's up front. Anyone see an issue with this fitment on the GXP? The wheels I have found a better deal on are 24 offset.
Im not sure which is the better route or if either will work?
Any help greatly appreciated! Im assuming the 30 offset stick out further? Which would offer more clearance for the rear?

The stock offset is 42mm front and 55mm rear.
With a 30mm up front, the wheel will stick out .47" and with a 24mm, the wheel will stick out .7087" You will also have to consider the added wheel width/wider tire. I would not go any lower then 36mm. The car might look funny with the wheels sticking out. This will also cause increased bearing wear.

Thank you! You are doing a great job at running the ls4 community here btw
unfortunately they only offer 30 offset max, So, being that they would stick out, that means there wouldnt be any fitment issues?

This is just a gt (obv), Is there a difference between the offset? (gt / gxp) ?
