Default Ls430 wheel and tire fitment question

Hello everyone. I am planning on buying some new wheels. I am looking at a set of 20s. I am handing my little sister my current set of 19s since she just got an IS. I would like to know if anyone can tell me whether these would fit. Front are 20x9 with 2.25 inch lip and clears bbk, offset unknown. The rears are 20x10 with 4 inch lip, super low disk, offset unknown. He says that the rims fitted on a 2nd gen gs300 are near flush with fenders, slightly tucked inside. He said his car has no fender work (rolled, pull, etc) Would I have anything to worry about? If I do get the rims, I was planning on getting 245/35/20 front and 265/35/20 rear. Thanks guys

Don't hit a pothole. You'll be your rim. Are you lowered. That's going to determine if a pull / roll or not. Offset is important if it is extreme. Look them up online if you can.

I can't answer your question, but tire stores like Discount Tire have programs that check the clearance of wheel combinations. I'd go to one and get a quote on some tire, and let their system figure it out for you.

Yeah I know, I drive like a grandma anyway lol. I am currently not lowered. I am going to lower around thanksgiving when my kit comes in. I have some coils waiting to be installed. I am just going to lower an inch or 2, just to fill the tire gap. Nothing crazy. But do you know if the rims would fit the ls, given that it is almost flush on the 2nd gen GS?

Ok thanks. My current setup i have 19x9 front with 2 inch lip and 19x10 3 inch lip. Offsets unknown too lol. 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. It is still tucked in. I think the rims can fit cause there is about an inch to be flush in rear and front is barely tucked.
