for the rears,im sure youre gonna need to roll the fenders.and it all matters what tire size you plan on using and how low youre car is.
and the fronts should fit no problem.

Front is fine but the rear you have to either shave the fenders or roll them.

it all depends on what size rims, suspension & tires your running..this all factors in to the equation when trying to get flush, since a car on springs/coilovers/SS kit are gonna sit different compared to a car on air.
getting that flush look/stance is what it's all about!!!

Good luck trying to get a straight up offset#

Thanks man.for sale?nope,these are the only wheels i have for this car.sadly.
alright.heres a pic of my ride height.

Front:19x9.5 +35


Rear:19x10.5 +24

for the ride height,i really like how flush the rear is and the front is'nt that bad also.keep in mind,the rear fenders were rolled flat and the fronts weren't touch at all.i hope that helps.

Your car is one of the best looking Ls around man!! very classy and simple!! If you dont mind, I would like to know how much you paid for these wheels and where did you get them from? Around here in NY there arent too many shops that serve the VIP crowd!!
