Question Need help on tire size-fat setup.

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm not familiar with the LS sizing.

For the rear, what size tire is recommended without any fender trimming?

19x10, +41 offset, fat set up. Would 275/35 rub?

Car might not be lowered.

Thank you for your help.

I have the 285 already on and it seemed like it was going to touch the fenders.

What are the largest sizes that fit without fender mods? I'm looking to move up to 19s with a 285 or 295 out back. How much is involved in modding the fenders? Is a 265 a good fit for the front?

Car is lowered and wheels would either be19 or 20 inchers, 8.5" front, 10" rear. 35mm/43mm front/rear offset. I will not be stretching the tires.

thats a fine offset for the LS430 no need for fender mods id run a 245/35-20 and 275/35 or 285/30-20 on the rear

i dunno why you wanna run a 265 in front? biggest ive seen on a 8.5 is a 255/35-20

Sorry for the confusions everyone.
I didn't take the pictures on stock height with my 19s. After seeing that it's going to touch the fenders, I took them off right away.

I have my 19" zaubers for sale and someone was asking about them.
He mentioned about not lowering his car and if the 285s will still touch the fenders.

So for the LS, it will fit with 275s as anotherLS advised

I have the UL and lowered already.
I had a change of heart on the wheels and want to go with the AME FX or AX, 5 spokes or full face

Right now, I lowered it by adjusting the sensors on the oem 18"s, with about fingers front and back.
I'll get pictures eventually when I make an introduction

I would not go ANY wider than 245 on the front unless you're willing to put up with a *good bit* of tramlining. And no wider than 8.5". IMO, the looks aren't worth screwing up the on-the-road feel. Even the 8.5s and 245s will deterioriate it a bit.
