The wheels that i am looking at are 19x8.5 44 offset 5-114.3 will these fit my car? The guy was telling me that he thinks my calipers are to big and that i might need spacers

to get a better idea...you can look at the "ultimate ls430 picture thread" thread....and they have a bunch of pix of LS430's with diff. types of wheels for you to get an idea. Good luck w/ your search.

that offset might touch your caliper...for the front you can do 19x8.5 +40 to +35 anywhere in between

The offset doesn't necessarily affect caliper clearance -- it's more the spoke profile on the inside. For example, I have 19 x 8.5 +43 and plenty of caliper clearance on the Volks.
