Default Wheel fitment/Tire sizing

Hey all, Not sure where to post this. Sorry if it's in the wrong section (mods feel free to move it i was going to post in the wheel thread but they're not on the car yet.) Still en route from Japan.

I'm trying to see if the wheels i just won on yahoo japan are going to fit with problems with the tires they're coming with other than a roll of the rear fenders.

im assuming that most LS400 owners before rolling the fenders remove the black trim plastic piece between the actual fender first the one that's screws in. I'm not talking about the inner liner.

Car is a 94 LS400 (UCF11)
Sitting on Megan LP coils rear maxed front needs to come down a bit more for my liking



Specs on the wheels in question
Work LS207
Fronts: 19x9j offset +26 (A) disc 235/35ZR19
Rear: 19x10j offset +33 (O) disc 265/30ZR19

Wheels/ Fitment Guru's of ClubLexus, what do you all think about fitment with the tire size posted?
What size tires would you run with rims of this size?
i just want a flush look nothing to extreme or crazy.
as far as adding camber can any aliment shop do this for me? all other suspension pieces besides the megan coils are stock.

Thanks for everyone inputs and suggestion.

I'm not 100% on the ucf1x but those should fit fine. The offsets are pretty high so you may need spacers to flush them up.
Tires are pretty boxed and you'll probably want to replace
Them with something narrower.

pretty conservative, should fit even with the tires with maybe a minor pull if not just a roll.

Anyone know how large of a spacer I might need to run (If I'll even need spacers) to fit the upgraded 95 and up big brakes with these rims? i want to make sure i have the spacers ready if i need them to avoid any delays during initial install. Thanks!

Wheels specs again are:
Work LS207
Fronts: 19x9j offset +26 (A) disc 235/35ZR19
Rear: 19x10j offset +33 (O) disc 265/30ZR19

probably 10-15mm. the fronts are "A-disk" which for work means standard clearance. "O-disk" is minimal clearance (extra lip).

What you need for 2LS calipers is Work's "R-Disk" which is meant for BBK.

yep those wheels will fit depending on your drop. remember not all tire sizing is the same. for example a 225/35 dunlop has a different sidewall height to a 225/35 hankook so it will be hard to sell if those sizes will actually fit.

to clear 2LS calipers depends on the spoke design as well as, but most likely you will need a 10-15mm spacer.
