Default Fitment help

Wondering how these wheel offsets will fit my 97ls400.

20x9 +22, 20x10 +24

This is my daily driver so I won't be stretching a lot or going for crazy camber. Will this require fender work if I have 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear.

Maybe a drop to take up some gap but not looking to tuck....any help would be appreciated...

Thanks...

it wont fit with those tire sizes, you will most likely need to stretch and/or camber, but you will DEFINITELY need a roll on all 4 corners.

if i were you, id run a 235/35 in the front, and a 255/35 in the rear... youll probably need to roll the rear lip on the quarter panel flat to clear... and in the front, make sure your rims will clear the front calipers, depending on the brand a high disk, or R-disk, or whatever....

out of curiosity, what rims are you trying to get...?

Thanks for the response guys....a friend of mine was getting rid of his vienna z weels and he only used them for shows. Could have gotten an ok deal but don't want to be too agressive.

Looks like ill be putting on 20x8.5 +38 and 20x9.5 +39....how will these offsets be...Scnitz had this offset on his 98 eurolines....will it be the same?

you'll be fine, no spacers. might need a fender shave/roll though on the rear depending on what tire size you use.

note: on the fronts, 245/35-20 will rub against the fender liner, it's just that tiny bit oversized from stock. 225/35-20 will clear however.

I would go with the 225f/245r that PD/mista808 suggested. That's what I was going to do this spring if I hadn't sold them. I used a 15mm H&R spacer on the rear and I suggest you do too. Could've used a 5-10mm on the front if my tires were the right size. This is with all the lips rolled flat and a slight pull (with the Eastwood) in the front.
Roll all the lips for safety sake and then throw them on. See how they fit and go from there.
