Help With Tires PLs
Hi guys! I need some info on these rims. What tires do I need to use to clear and have no rubbing? I have an LS400 1st gen.
19X8.5 (+35H) & 19X9.5(+45)
I don't know much about all the offsets and measurements so please explain it to me like you would to a newb

Well, here is what i know.
The lower the offset, the more out the wheel comes from the wheel well. Also, if you wanna check call tire rack and they'll tell you offsets. Here is a picture showing you what offset means relative to the center of the wheel.

Hold up...lower the offset the more it comes out of the wheel well? Shouldn't it be less offset less it comes out? Thats how I figured looking at the diagram.

GSNav is right...+40 sits IN further than +30...
That setup should be fine on your LS...on the front, just be careful...if you put too large of a tire, you MIGHT rub...a 245 up front should be good...
+35H means that the wheels "pad" (where it mounts to the car) is +35mm OUT from center. The "H" means it's a "high" disk...usually needed to clear the brakes...rears can be normal, lower, or sometimes superlow disk to get a deeper lip...
Your rear wheel will sit in a litte...you'll probably have a like a 1/2" spacing (not noticable unless you're REALLY looking for it)...you could have done a +37 offset out back....
