What is a mildly aggressive wheel fitment on ls430? Im ok with a roll or a shave but I dont want to do any pulling? Assuming 20" with a fair drop?

Thanks

I am trying to get the same answers, from what I've gathered so far we can have a 3in lip in the front and a 4in lip in the back. I think this equates to about a 20x9.5 +20 (Fr) and a 20x10.5 +19 (Rr). I am trying to do the same thing, it's hard to get info though. I just want mine to look clean....

That seems to be about right but id like to get some tire sizes is that with a stretched tire?

that is with a stretched tire and roll front and shave rear fenders.

if you are slammed the front will have trouble turning as well without rubbing; that is pretty aggressive in the front in my opinion.

Would a 9.5 with a 35 offset be less aggressive or more aggressive?

I was in the same boat when i first bought my LS430. After 3 sets of wheels you learn a thing or two about what fits and what doesn't. You can do all the number crunching and asking what fits and what doesn't, but it's just really not that simple. A combination of ride height, camber, tire size, wheel width, wheel offset, and fender work will equate to what your stance looks like.

My advice ... get a set of wheels based on lip size and face design, then make your car fit those wheels.

I thought of that too, but on my Army budget, lol, and nobody really "VIP friendly" in Georgia that I know of that may be hard. That and I probably couldn't eat the downtime or get my wife to come off the funds, lol....

Well like I said I dont want to a pull on the fendors, there should be enough people here to get a feel. I cant imagine just getting wheels and making them fit..

Use this as a guide then for no fender modifications needed.

i am running 20x9 +30 up front with a 225x35x20 (stretched); the car is slammed and i rub when turning sharp up front. the front fenders are shaved on one side and slightly rolled on the other. they both rub equally but the side that's shaved is less structurally tough if you will and every time that side rubs it bends the fender out a little and i have to go bend it back in.

i actually had to raise up the front a little more than i would like because of the rubbing especially when i have a passenger over 100 lbs up front.

I was running 20x9 +12 with 225/35-20 tires with shaved fenders in front and shaved fender liner up top. I only rubbed when going over bouncy roads. UL is a bit bouncy compared to static coils. Turning I had no problem.

the only reason you didn't rub worse ^ ^ ^ when turning is because my static height is lower than your driving height. when i rode around on 9 with the controller i was at least 2 inches higher. even with the ss kit i am at least 1 inch lower presently. the UL is a little bouncy and even now i have my spring rate set pretty damn soft. like 4 clicks from full soft. it makes for a smoother ride but i sacrifice on the bumps when turning and such.
