Default will i need fender work?

i decided to go along and get a fixed setup on my 2000 ls400. i have df210s and kyb gr2s waiting to be installed. but prior to taking it to a shop. i was wondering if i had to get any fender work done? im running 245/40/19 on 19x8.5 with 34 offset on all four corners. i dont want to spend the extra money if i dont have to. any input?

I am running 19x8.5 too but 245/35s and +38 at the moment and dont need any roll/pull and mine is a ucf10. I heard ucf20 has more clearance... so im assuming youre fine with those sizes. But then again... I am not lowered yet... waiting for coils to come in >_<

yeah im kinda suspecting that i wont need any fender work. i just wanted to be sure before i take my car an hour away from my residence to get the springs and struts installed. then end up finding out that it rubs or something.

it will be close but since your car is not going to be too low on DF210s i will lean towards it fitting. also based on JSC4's response, the UCF20s do have more fender clearance so your car should be able to swallow the 245/40/19s.

I've been wondering about this also since i have 19x 8.5 waiting in the wings to get put in sometime soon. +33 all around, I'm planning on getting 15 or 20mm spacers to make them fit flush. I thought I read in another thread that PureDrifter mentioned a slight roll in the front for those offsets.

roll fronts, rears should fit without but may be close.

Thanks I was hoping you would pop in with that confirmation. I always bookmark threads for later but could not find the one I quoted you from.
