I hate to be the one to ask but the amount of info in here is overwhelming. For a slight tuck/flush fitment on a ucf10 what size spacers would you recommend for 19x8.5 et39 / 19x.9.5 et45?

On a Ucf10. depending how much camber you want to run. I'd say a 20mm spacer front and 25mm rear with that wheel setup to be mild flush, and a light stretch on tires so you don't rub. May need a small roll but nothing crazy.

Upgrade, or just slap on new tires.?
I have a '98 LS400 with stock 16" wheels. The sides of the wheels have ugly curb rash way up high and I need new tires also.
Since I need to buy tires anyway, what would be a good economic way to upgrade to 17 or 18 inch. Would a used set from a later mode LS be ok to just bolt on with no other mods? Are there wheels from other models to consider?
I would prefer the car to appear as though the wheels came from the factory, just updated a bit perhaps.
Like these perhaps

Would they ride rougher on a '98 compared to a later car?
Thank you for any input.

275/30/19 FK 452 = 9.6" tread width
265/30/19 FK 453 = 9.6" tread width
Looks like these Falken's no longer run narrower and are now on par with other brands in the same size

Yeah, I was hoping to get the same sort of stretch with the same tread width but I actually got less. If I bought the 275/30 453s, they would probably have ended up more like a 295/30 fk452. Great tires but you have to go down in size a lot more than you think. Wish I could find some Conti SC3s in these sizes.
