Default 7 series 19" rims clear ls430 bbk?

Hey everyone,
I've searched the boards and was wondering if anybody knew if the OEM 19" BMW 7 series rims cleared the 430 brake calipers? They are the 19x9/10 +24 multispoke rims.

I've found only one picture of an ls with the rims but no details about fitment. On a separate note I have read that they will NOT clear the 2nd gen ls400 but will clear the 1st gen.

Also on the fitment topic, I've tried to narrow down the most aggressive wheel offset to fit on a lowered 430 without fender mods. I'm not very savvy in the wheel fitment book, but i've gathered that if dealing with a 9" or 10" width then around +36?

Thanks for any help.

They will clear the calibers but the bolt pattern is not the same. You will have to have the wheels drilled. Ls430 takes 5x114.3 BMW wheels are 5x120 I believe.

Thanks, i appreciate the response. Yeah,I'm aware of the bolt pattern difference. I'm debating a redrill or lug adapters (will probably push the wheels further out than my liking).
