Default LS430 Wheel Help

Ok guys ima be running 20x9 +30 and 20x11+35 on the LS430. Im not 100% sure about the fitment but i dont wanna do any body work that has to do with repainting anything. I know its not a super aggressive setup but if i can run the wheel flush with the rear fender then im happy with that. Im thinking of running a 255/35 on the rear. I just wanna know if that will clear with a shave or a roll. The front im thinking 235/35 and a small spacer. that will depend on the rubbing when i get to that point. Ima novice to this scene and i really only have one chance to get it right... Thanks guys

need to shave rear fenders for sure, should be good but the rear tire should be a 255x30 not 35. In fact I got a pair for sale right now that are basically new.

Check out the Tire Rack's website. Those guys really know their tires. In fact, you dont really need them. Just put in your car and do the plus 2 plus 3. Im running 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. I went with the silver Enkei Falcons. Rolling the rear fender lips were highly recommended.

It's a complex combination of offset, tire size, wheel width, ride height, fender mods, and camber specs. What may work perfectly for one person may not for another b/c of one of those factors. And "perfect fitment" is very subjective.

My advice after going through 4 sets of wheels is just to put them on and tweak from there. Only you know what you want the car to look like and we can only ballpark it. Those spec wheels should slap on with 235/255 and not have any issues when lowered.

well i did a lot of looking at cars and with your setup with the weds... i think thats perfect. im trying to stay away from any fender rolling so i have the wheels, tires are a question for the rear with 255/265 and im really leaning towards 265 with the megan rear arms and some more negative camber. Im thinking with a shave and that setup, i should be able to pull off a 265/35 and if not, 255/35 should work for sure. The offset is 35 on an 11 so i think its still conservative.
