Default Will these wheel fit...

I finally found some wheels for my 01 gs 430. The car is lowered but i can adjust the height.

The wheel specs are

5x114.3
19"

Front wheels: 19x8.5 +45 offset

Rear wheels: 19x9.5 +48 offset

Anyone know if these will fit, and how they will look possibly (flush, to far outwards/inwards, major rubbing issues).

I plan to have the car lowered with the wheels so there is no gap, but it wont be lower than the top of the tire.

TIA

Seriously man? They'll be tucked like a tranny for sure.

You'll probably want to make use of some spacers depending on what kind of look you're going for.

So they will fit............

but they will sit inwards?

How far will they sit from the inside of the fender wall. Thats what i want. I want the tire to come outwards until almost being flush with the fender.

How big of a spacer am i looking at, hypothetically

Well,

I too have 19X8.5 (up front) but with a +40 offset
and I have 19X9.5 (in the rear) with a +37 offset

please see the attached post...you can use this as a guage for how your wheels will sit. IMHO the fronts are pretty flush and the rears are slightly tucked in...IMHO a 5 - 10mm in the rear would be perfect for my setup. You may need a 5-10mm space in the front and a 20-25mm spacer in the rear for yours to look great. Good luck.

....another one

So with a +48 offset in the rear you would stick inwards by 11mm more than me; IMHO a spacer would def be needed.
