Helps a lot when your car isn't that low. Plus the higher offset also. Offset, height and tire sizing all affect how much bodywork someone will have to do. Heck even tire brands all run different widths even when they are rated the same size.

Hey all I'm thinking about finally buying some wheels for my 1st gen. Will 19x10.5 +15 in the front and 19x11.5 +15 in the rear work with just fender roll/cut and natural camber? Or will I have to pull!?

Im planning on buying a set of bmw style 95 wheels for $400 without tires. Is that a good deal?

What all would i need to fit these on a 1997 LS400? I know i would need adapters but what size should i get? If i get them big enough with extended studs do i also have to get hubcentric rings?

What would be the best setup with tires to do minimal if any fender work? Im gonna be on stock height for the time being but i do plan on lowering it with tannabe df210 lowering springs.

I know there was some talk a few pages back but can anyone confirm if the 17x8 +45 IS250 ten spoke wheels will fit over UCF20 calipers. FAQ says any IS wheel fits but I havent seen 17" IS rims, only the GS varity on here. Gotta piece together my winter set up & I need to know this soon !!!
