Default Need help again ASAP ( will these wheels fit 1996)

Hey guys I have a 2nd gen 1996 Toyota Celsior/LS400 and I have the chance to buy some nice 19's just need to know if they'll fit.
The fitment is 19x8 19x9.5 with an et20 offset all around. Will this fit good one my Celsior?
Thanks!

Helping yourself is usually a lot faster if this is 'asap' vs waiting for someone to answer.

Make sure to confirm the bolt pattern as well.

Well instead of looking thru tons of pages of wheel set-ups ill give my opinion, since it seems the other guy is too lazy to help you lmao smh moderators

I have 19x10+12 19x11+12 on my 96 and i have a slight roll in the back and a decent one in the front, so im gonna go ahead and say as long as u run like a 215-35/40-19 tire and a 225-35/40-19 tire you should be fine

the difference in the sidewall height 35/40 is based on how you want the ride to be and how much meat u like on the tires

hope this helps

those should fit great but you mighttt rub a tiny bit with the rears
i know running a 19x9.5+45 rear on my 93 barley cleared the stock fenders
you might have to shave a tiny bit off but nothing major

in general, those will fit. 90-94 cars have smaller fenders compared to 95-00.

in addition you have to consider if the car is lowered and how low, plus your tire sizing, PLUS the spoke design if it will allow your brake calipers to clear. lots of extra info is needed before we can give a definite answer.

Before you call me lazy and "smh"....I wouldn't hazard a guess because I simply don't personally know the answer. I don't own that car, never have (had a 98 and 05 LS) and am not a wheel fittment expert so I tried to help the guy find his answer on his own as best I could. The answer is there if he took the time too look since he needed it ASAP

Please don't publicly put me down for trying to help. Not cool.

Pm me if you want to discuss further please.

looking at your pics you have a pretty solid pull in the front, not just a roll. Mild pull in the rear.

OP should have searched, if he had he would have found that with his specs and relatively narrow wheels he can get away with a roll/shave in the front and rear with full sized tires, no stretch needed.

I personally would like to get away with not pulling or rolling fenders but if I gotta do it I will. Also I like the look of stretched tires on rims, So saying that what size tires would be ideal to stretch on the rims? I'll try and get some pics of the rims to upload asap!
Thanks

first you must answer the question of how low you are going to be, if you plan to lower at all. it's hard to determine a fitting tire size before knowing how much clearance you have.

also i hope you considered if those will clear your front brake calipers.

It has the stock air ride and I'll probably just leave it stock. I think I'll have the Celsior up for sale soon anyways.

you'll blow the bags right quick if you try to drive low on them.

Stretching for the hell of it and not because you actually need the clearance is going to look plain silly, and will likely cause people to laugh at you.

^^^^ Listen to PD! I like the look of stretched tires too, but I'm not going to stretch tires if I don't have any clearance issues. But hey, if your selling it anyway who cares, right?
