thanks Mike, i was actually gonna do 5mm in the front and it was the back wheels that i couldn't decide between 15 or 20mm. with these 245s i'm already 20mm up from stock and the fronts are pretty much just where i want them, but my goal is to have the fronts and backs be exactly in line with each other (each coming out to the same point)

Is that the space between where it meets the hub and the back of the spokes?

Is it at stock height now? Judging by the wheel gap the front looks a touch high but the rear looks just right. Nice wheel choice looks good.

GH5T, yes, stock height. I assume it sits like that because the rear sags a little. I'm going to drop it, but maybe only an inch in the rear and a couple in the front. The rear tires rub a little over big bumps and dips right now, so I'll have to go with a slightly more narrow tire in the rear also.

Lexus LS model and year: LS400 (UCF20) 1997 12
Wheel Make & Model: WORK EUROLINES DH ("O" DISCS BOOTH)
Wheel Size (diameter and width): REAR 9X18/FRONT 8X18
Wheel Offset Front: ET38 (-21mm SPACER BEACAUSE "O" DISC ITS TO CLOSE TO BRAKE CALIPER )
Wheel Offset Rear: ET38 (-8MM SPACER, BECAUSE OUTER SHAPE OFFSET ITS SIMILAR TO FRONT WHEELS)

Tire Size Rear: 265/40/18

Suspension mods: OEM AIR

Rear fenders - remastered (not finish at moment), front - oem. Be carefuly before buyng wheels, "R" disc its diferent like "O" disc, and possible, u have a brake calipers fitment problems Next porblem - NEVER ROLLING YOUR FENDERS! Its very inmportant double sided contruction, never cuting a fenders before welding a new points of fenders. Good look.

How would a 19x10 21 / 19x11 24 sit on a 99? On coilovers. Simple roll or do i need a pull too?

rear: 255/35 on r19 11/24 rims - need welding with contact welder rear arh before cutting center zone. No rolling if possible! .
front: 235/40 on r19 10/21 rims - no waranty about inner side (cornering and others). Outer side - wider / streched, i think - be ok if no spacer need (brake support - very wide!)
compare to my LS (look at photo of my setup for imagination) ,below - examples of my setup and your setup.

Does anyone have any ideas on tyre sizes and what arch work has been done on this? I like this look.
