Default Will I need spacers?

Well since I didn't get nearly what I wanted for my GS I had to look at a diffrent set of wheels. These are 19x9f 19x10r with +10 offsets. Will those clear my rotors and such or will I need spacers? The fenders are getting shaved and rolled but i'm worried about the inner part of the wheel. The money is burning a hole I really wanna pull the trigger on these wheels. Thanks!

Ya I should have been more clear I have a 1999 LS400 I had a 94 GS but I sold it and am using the money to buy these rims. So as soon as I find out if 19x9/10 +10 will fit i'm going to order them!

i think a +10 offset would stick out of the fender too much.

The offset of the rims is not a guidline you need to follow.
The things that would need to be known is who makes the rims?
The find out the space from the spokes

i think hes talking about backspacing.

offset is to determine if they will rub, stick out, etc.

Depending on how much effort and camber you will be running will determine if these wheels are for you or not. If you going with a minimal amount of drop and close to positive camber those offsets will not be for you. Now if your willing to roll some fenders and run some negative camber I would say order them. I would try to get maybe a mid disc for the front im not too sure what will fit around the caliper, but the caliper is pretty big.

im pretty sure our cars use a mid offset (25-30) so i think a +10 shouldnt be tooo hard to fit.
