Exclamation Please Help With the Rims Issue !!!

HEy guyz hope u all doing goood..

I am stuck with selecting rims for my 2005 lexus ultra luxury package ls430 and the problem i am facing is i have bought rims earlier ..one of them were Work Wheels euroline 19" and the problem is when i fix the rear ones they get on well whereas the front ones dont they touch with the brake Caliper and there isnt even 1" distance between the wheels touching the brake caliper and putting up a spacer makes the wheels come out of the body and i dont want that to happen...

so i have gone to a store i found out one of the originals and the size was
19x9.5 ET 39 5x112

so i just want to know will the above size rims fix up on my ls430 where as the dealer guy said lexus comes OEM size is 5x114 ...

Reply me all da users who have 19" on their rides ...how did u fix them what r da size u r on ?

Thanks all

Bro what's the disk size? your gonna end up having to run a spacer since it's probably not a hi disk,the ls have pretty big brakes from the factory so when ordering rims you should take that into consideration.

what size of spacers you put on that make the rim stick outside of the fender?
From what you describing, I think you just need a 5mm, if it still sticks out, pull the fenders or get another set of rims.
You also need to put tire size into consideration.

Diplomacyk,

You have to consider the offset and BBK fitment of the wheels before you bought. Very important in our lexus'

Good Luck

^telling you to ask them IT IS helping you...

i just think you are stupid that buy first then ask question. you probably bought used from someone else thinking that you score. sometimes wheel dealers will make mistake on the disk size but not normally on bolt pattern.

my best advice for you is sell it and then go to those shops in uae and get the right one instead.

I don't think you understand "disk type". LS's require "high disk" in the front. This means that wheel face itself bulges out to clear the brake caliper. The offset or bolt pattern means nothing in regards to clearing the caliper.
Only a spacer will solve your issue. If a 5mm works you should have no problem not hitting the fender with a 39 offset.
Oh and for the love of Christ put forth the effort to spell out your words. Your posts read like a 3 year olds.

the offset on the 18' OEM is not gonna help your issue since yours are 19's

What is the spec on your rims? You need to know that before anything.
