Default Need help in lower the car with staggered wheels

I plan to lower my 05 ls 430 about 1 - 1.5 inches with either lower springs or coil, i also plan to run either 18 or 19 staggered wheels set up with it. I have checked with Tirerack and they recommended to have offset of +42 in both 18" and 19 "wheels, however they will not guarantee the fitting if i lower the car. My question is Will i have any problem any problem such as rubbing or so? Love to hear if from every one. Thank you very much.

From what I was told high 20 offsets fit without modification, so you should be fine

if your drop allows the tires to sit flush with the fenders then anything above +35 offset with no more than 9iinch width is fine with no modifications
