here's me with the "fat" set up...( I'm probably going to "inch" up to 20's, I have come to the decision that,"certain sacrifices must be made.")[INSERT]130470[/INSERT]

I went 19's with some sidewall because I wasn't willing to sacrafice too much ride and on-the-road feel. And I didn't want VIP...

Down the side view... This was on a steep driveway and made the front sit a little high, and I've since lowered the front a little, so the combination result is that the front now that the whole car sits like the rear appears in this photo.

Turbo, is the rear rubbing? You need to shave the fenders a little.

No rubbing except when there are 4 people in the car AND it goes over a big dip at speed (this with my Tein CS set pretty soft the way I run it). And in that event it rubs very lightly at the ~9:00 position on the tire where the plastic ground effects trim attaches inside the wheel opening (doesn't rub anywhere that you can see in the above photo). I could spend 15 minutes adjusting the mounting tab and eleminate the rubbing, but it really isn't an issue. I can't see any sign on the tire or the car where it's rubbing, and it only happens about once a month or so in my driving. The setup is the max track width that will fit without any significant rubbing, though. LOL Looks very beefy from the rear.

Right on the tires and very good guess on the wheels -- just a little more width and corresponding offset -- 19 x 9.5" and 45-mm offset.

Guys

I assume you need lowered suspension for a fat setup on 19s still?

I just bought these rims just wondering what everyone thinks and how they will look on black on black 2001 ls430

also will these specs be ok i assume ill need to roll the guards

19x9 +24 (brand new 235/35 Neuton 3000's, 6 weeks old)
19x10 +24 (cambered 245/35 Sumitomo's, 75%)
