Question, would you have to roll your fenders to roll on SC430 wheels using OEM tires? Going to test fit them on Wednesday, but can't run them since I need an alignment and don't want to get an alignment if I do suspension work in the short future. So I won't be able to tell unless it's really that obvious...
245/40 tires
Ichiba 15mm front spacers
Ichiba 25mm rear spacers
EDIT: Nevermind, this answered it perfectly and I can see that fender rolling needs to be done asap... I really wonder how he rolls around with just that much clearance, hitting a dip must be scary...

I did not roll for 245/40. But they just barely do not need it. The tires do not touch the fender at all. Even with the suspension compressed. I know it looks like they will but the wheel goes up and angles in as the suspension is compressed. 245/45, which is the correct tire for the LS may rub a little. We are different generations and I don't know if that matters.

I'm running 245/45 offset +15 in the rear. Its rolled and pulled. I need to cut the tabs since I'm tucking tire and it rubs if i turn hard. I dont think i can fit a credit card between the arch and my tire.
Most the the factory 95-00 wheel combos hit ~52#'s.

They are heavy wheels. I know they vary in width as well as solid front or chrome. Mine are 8.5 inches wide and some are 8. Mine don't feel heavier then about 40 lbs, with tires. I think it added 40 - 50 lbs to the car. Changing the springs removed 10 - 15.
Here is an old post too.

Those look good. I wasn't so sure but after seeing them installed, looks nice. Had the 6 spoke LS430 17" wheels on my 99 but found some very nice chrome LS430 7 spoke wheels. Here are a few pics. The 7 spokes should have been offered with the LS400 all along...if they were around.
