Default Offset help!!

I'm looking at a set of SSR Vienna Kries for my 96 LS400. I'm a little unsure how they will fit though. They are front 18"x 8" +19 and rear 18"x 9" +31.
The tricky part is they are in 6 stud so I will need to use adapters. The thinest I can get is 15mm making the fronts a +4 offset. The rears I have a little more to play around with. Would the fronts fit without serious guard work?

With a standard roll or hammer job on a ucf20 you can fit a 9 +15 in the front. Your 8 +4 is equivalent to a 9 +16 so you should be fine. Its probably a good thing youre running a spacer in the front because unless those viennas are hi disk theyre not going to clear the calipers without one.

a roll+stretch and a mild mild pull will get the front setup right, though with such low width it'll have no lip and look kinda funky imho O.o

Its kind of hard to picture without me having seen the wheels in person.
I'd also be a little worried about the rears appearing too skinny with stretched tyres.

Its a rather hard task finding a decent set of wheels over this side of the world. Everyone here is too into the drift scene and the market consist's mainly of driftek style knockoffs. Hence why I had to consider wheels in 6 stud format.
Buying brand new is out of my price range and so would be buying through yahoo auctions.
