I was thinking to go with the 19'' VOSSEN 19X9.5 ALL ROUND..

Im therefore wondering if i can use 245 / 45 / 19 comfortably (i.e no fender rubbing or touching issues ) or would the 45 series be too high
I have always liked the staggered look on rear wheel drive cars. I would try and go as close to the stock tire diameter as possible to keep your speedometer as acurate as possible.

When I was looking at rim and tires sizes, I went on www.tirerack.com and search all the tire diameters before selecting the overall size of the tire.

Looks great man!
That's an impressive pull in the rear to be tucking those 11.5 25et wheels like that!

I think the ebay links are too old, but I still got the emails:
The head lights and corners auction was named "95 96 97 LEXUS LS400 CHROME HEAD LIGHTS CORNER DEPO"
And the lower corner and markers one was "95-97 LS400 CLEAR BUMPER PARK SIGNAL LIGHTS 4 PCS DEPO"

2010 IS350 OEM wheels on my 1996 LS400

18x8 +45 offset front
18x8.5 +50 offset rear

235/40/18 all around. Need to get a spacer for the rear, front sits pretty flush. Looks kind of awkward since I haven't dropped her yet (coming very soon).

Quick question for anyone that knows. Is this list up-to-date to include '12 - '15 models?

-OEM Toyota/Lexus wheels that clear 95-00 big brakes (5x114.3, 60.1mm hub)

95-00 LS400
01-06 LS430
06-11 ISX50
06-11 GS350/430/460
93-97 Supra Turbo (only)

NO OTHER OEM Lexus wheels will clear.
LS460 wheels do not fit They are 5x120 and will need an adapter.

Which raises a question...

I've got the OEM 18" Tourmaline wheels on my '97. The guy that sold them to me didn't know which year or model that they were supplied. Does anyone know? Were they a stock wheel or an upgrade?
