18x9" Wheels for a 95 LS400
I am looking into getting a set of 18x9" wheels (all the way around) with a 38mm offset and a 2.5" lip. Will the 18x9 fit under the front fender without any modification?

I have 18 x 8.5 up front with 35mm off set and 245/40's. It doesn't rub - I have it dropped about 2 inches though. It rubbed when it was at stock ride height over bumps and dips. I think you will be really close to rubbing even with stretched tires.

These are the wheels I am planning to put on...what do you guys think? There are actually some 19x8.5 with 2.5" lip and 19x9.5 with a 3" lip. They are going on a Ferrari 355 replicar I am building out of an MR2. The 18x9s will look almost identical...

BAD NEWS...Tried fitting the 19"x8.5" wheels I had in my garage, and they hit the brakes. I would need at least a 15-20mm spacer to make them work. Doesn't look like I will be buying those 18x9's afterall. Glad I tried them before buying the new ones...

I was going to buy the LS430 wheels also but held out until I found a set that better suited me. I like the 430 rims but wanted a different look. I went though 12 or so rims before finding one that cleared the calipers. I didn't want to go the spacer route - one shop offered to grind the calipers!
