Default Wheel offsets question - 2004 LS430

Hey guys, I have a 2004 LS430 UL, which I will also be lowering with ASC680 and 19" HRE 543R with custom finish (gloss black lip / secret sauce centers )

Wheels are 19" x 9" ET35 and 19" x 10" ET35 and I'll be running 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 Michelin PS2 tires. Any ideas if this will be a problem? I've already rolled the fenders in preparation for this.

According to offset calculator:

front: EXTEND an extra 29mm

rear: EXTEND an extra 42mm


Much appreciate any light that can be shed on this

Anton

i had 20x9 +37 and cleared the caliper by 2mm..so you have 4mm of clearance in front and both should fit fine

why such huge tires? 40 series on front? might do a 235/35 or 245/35 front and a 275 rear

I'm not going for that stretched VIP look , besides, 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 is just a tad bit taller than stock tire height.

c'mon, you should know that offset doesnt make a difference on brake clearance

will prolly be fine PROVIDED that the front wheels are "high disk" to fit the brakes on the 3LS

My biggest concern is actually fender clearance...I already tested the wheels before taking them apart for custom paint, and they do clear the brakes perfectly.
