Issues with 18 or 20 inch rims
I just got a 1998 LS400 and I want to get some new rims for them. Many of the wheel dealers mentioned problems that would arise when putting 20s on this car involving the calipers. So I had a couple questions:
1. What are the exact issues that arise with 20s?
2. What is the biggest size that could be put on there without any issues arising? Are 18s ok?
Thanks ppl...'preciate it!

Offset does not gurantee caliper clearance, you want a wheel designed to clear a large caliper and those are with high disk fitments. Keep in mind, if you get an agressive offset and have to use a spacer you may also have fender well rubbing issues
Contact D2 about wheel fitments, this thread also:

If you go outside, have the shop test fit the proposed wheel to the car to verify clearance.
