I can't really see the other side but is that a single exit dual tip? If so got more details/pictures on it?

I've had a single pipe on my ls400 for a few years; just kept it hidden with a turn down. Had a dual tip m3 muffler at one point I was going to try but long gone now.

Will a 19x9.5 et -15 look normal on a stock rear of a UCF21? Or will they poke like crazy. It will not be slammed or cambered in like crazy.

they will poke out! i've had semi-flush (maybe slight poke) fitments using 19x10.5 +24 in the rear, which is 26mm LESS than your specs. if you don't plan on doing major fender or camber work, those wheels will NOT fit or look normal. and remember ride height and tire size are determining factors as well.

FYI

19x10.5 +24 (rear quarter panels trimmed, not pulled) rear
your specs would stick out 26mm MORE than what is pictured!

Whenever you go negative you're going to have a hard time with fitment though, I have a 19x11.5 rear but still positive and still fits, there are other ways to get fat lips Lexus777

Just picked up a set of 9.5 +24 and 10.5 +24. I haven't test fitted them yet but do you guys know if the front will clear the LS front brakes?

Also looking at picking up 235/35 for the fronts and 245/35 rears. Anyone have pics of that tire setup close to ^ sizes?

Thanks guys!

Offset and wheel width do not determine brake clearance....

So it's not possible to say without more info.

those specs should fit IF they clear the brake calipers. as shmee stated, there is no way to determine clearance with simply offset. if you have a wheel model, i can venture a guess.

here is my previous setup, 19x9.5 +24 and x10 +24 with 225/35 235/35 tires. i could have easily fit 245s in the rear so your tire spec should be ok. keep in mind not all tire brand sizing runs true, meaning a 235/35 toyo will size slightly different than a same sized nitto for example.

fyi, if i went 235 up front, it would have def rubbed my fenders, which are all shaved on all corners, no roll or pull.
