Wheel fitment help please.
I now really appreciate what has been stated here about the LS 430's huge brake calipers.
Okay I did a test fit today of my 18x8" 40 offset wheels shod w/ 245/45/18s. It appears I need 7mm more to clear the front calipers. So if I run 10mm spacers, I get an effective 30mm offset. I would like to know if this will clear w/o rubbing? I plan to run NF210 springs. I can't abide ANY rubbing and would much rather get different wheels vs even light rubbing. Thanks if ya can help.

I'm being real careful 'cause I just seem to have the worse luck w/ fitments. Even going conservative I had rub w/ my TL and CL-S.

Thanks fellas for putting my paranoia to rest.
Maybe the extra agitation was worth it as I was able to convince the wife that I NEED a set of OE 18" replicas just to be safe. Hmm...too bad she's so observant. She'll probably notice when I switch the blingy chrome jobs to the hyperblack set every few months.
