Default Wheel fitment suggestions with BBK

Hey everyone,

Wanted advice on fitment for my 02 GS300. I am getting the LS400 BBK done soon and will be looking into getting to get rims shortly afterwards.

The setup I'm going for is
Front 19x9.5
Rear 19x10.5

Not sure what offset I think I should go with 35, they should clear my BBK and sit flush without too much fender modification.

I know I will need to do a fender roll. Other than that idk.

Any help would be much appreciated


Thanks

Offset has less to do with brake clearance than the wheel's actual design. LS400 brakes are not particularly prominent though, not like an actual big brake kit, so it's not really an issue unless you have a really slim wheel disk or a spoke design that interferes. It's mainly just a diameter issue, which 19" wheels clear with loads of room.


There are literally hundreds of wheel fitment examples on this forum alone, including the sizes you are looking at.
