Wheel / Offset Gurus Advice Please!
Hello guys, I have been searching and searching, and I finally ran into some wheels that might work for what I am looking for....but at what fender work or cost??
06 LS430 UL....soon to be on datasystem setup.
I found some 19x9.5 +11 225/35/19 and 19x11 +11 245/35/19.
I'm afraid these are going to poke too much and that it will look ridiculous without a crazy amount of camber. I'm actually not a huge fan of super negative camber, but want the tires to be very flush on the fenders when I lower. Just don't want it to look retarded when it's driving height. Idea of what it would look like on factory camber or factory adjusted camber (no camber kit just yet)?
Thoughts and advice? (Pics help!!) Make it work, or move on? TIA

Move on if u want it to be flush you must realize its not easy to match a rim to factory body lines most ppl run camber and stretched tires and pulled fenders cuz its needed not cuz they want to. Make it work or buy spacers till your happy.

0000Spacers will make it worse! LOL. I kinda already knew the answer to my question lol....just wanting someone to talk me into or outta it
How much poke would you guess....an inch? more? With the stretched tire and air down, would the top of the tire hide inside, or is that wishful thinking on stock air and factory adjusted camber? Without super pulled fenders....heard these fenders are brittle compared to my previous BMW
I'd hate to pass on the wheels due to a half inch/inch difference, since 25mm is an inch, these would be appx +36s and then I would probably be shopping for spacers
Decisions decisions...

Go custom or expect to put In work and money...as far as your question goes with no camber and stock fender its going to look off save your headache and decide if the look is worth the work or not it's less work to try to try to achieve your goal than to buy it off the shelf and pray its what your wanting.

Your math is off...You do not need to run spacers on these wheels. These will poke out past the fender line even with factory camber and aired out. These will require extensive body work along w/ a combination of stretch tire and camber settings.
Here is a 20x11 +12 with factory camber, shaved fenders, aired out on a 255/35 General tire.

Thank you, that picture helps quite a bit. I think I will have to wait it out for something a little more tame for my tastes. I knew +11 would be difficult to make work for me, but you guys would be the ones to ask! thanks again

Any closer shots of the clearance? I know this particular 11 would be a little more than a 1/4in more poke, but from your angle, it looks reasonable.
I am going to test fit the wheels and check it out for myself, see if it is worth the effort for me, but the wheels are nice.

It's not fun trying to make these fit on stock fenders. I'm on my 6th tire on these wheels within 50 miles of them being out of the box.
Also I forgot to readjust my coils to stiffer, might help with this problem. (this was after cruising that 50 miles @ 70 mph)
