Default Help! Need to know if wheels will fit!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if these wheels would fit an 04 ls430 with standard suspension and no rolling fenders what tires would fit? I've been looking for wheels for about a month now and I've been going to sleep late every night trying to find a good set lol. They are 19" 8.5/ 30 offset in front and 19"9.5/35 offset

the compatibility tool on the website says they won't fit a LS430. Do you have a reason to believe it's not accurate?

If so, contact the seller. I do know that most rims don't have the 45mm or greater offset that the big online eTailer shows is necessary. this webpage says 35 and 30 are the offsets.

I know the tool says it won't fit but couldn't I just use spacers? Every time I look for 45mm offset wheels, looks really bad in my opinion. And I've read some posts on here that show people using much lower offset like 22 but of course they did body modifications. All this stuff really makes my head hurt and just wish it was easier just to buy a set of wheels.

ATown, I feel your pain when it comes to figuring out what wheels work and which ones will not. Especially when you are paying a lot of money and can't just get a refund if they don't work. My advice to you is to go to a wheel shop and test fit on your car. Maybe you spend a little more vs eBay, but at least you know what the end result will look like vs hoping/praying/guessing. Remember after choosing your rims, it can be another pain choosing the right tires. Good luck.

They should fit but it will be close without rolling/shaving fenders. I would probably go a little more conservative if you plan to keep everything stock. I had 20x10 +32, 20x11 +37 on my car with stock air suspension lowered but shaved my rear fenders. Based on the narrower wheel width and similar offsets the lips of the wheels will be about 1/2"~3/4" further in than my set.
