Alright guys, I think Im going to go with the following:
XXR 526's in Chromium Black
F - 18x9, +35, 245/40
R - 18x10.5, +20, 275/35
How well will they fit? Im not into the stretch/"hellaflush"/what ever you call it, look.
What will be required as far as fender mods, if any? The car is lowered on a set of Tein Flex coilovers. The wiring harness has already been relocated in the front fender.
Will these clear an LS400 caliper in the front and a Supra TT caliper in the rear?
I also considered going 18x9 +35 all the way around with the same tire sizes, would that be a better and/or easier setup?
Any help would be appreciated.

Its hard to say if they will clear the LS brakes in the front. Its kinda trial and error seeing which wheels clear the 4 pots. You may end up having to run a spacer in the front. In the rear with 275s at +20 you will just need to roll the fenders. I know that my front wheels clear the LS brakes. But mine are +12 in the front, so they are pushed out pretty far. Hope that kinda helps. I wouldn't run the same size front and rear. I think a staggered set up is always better.

I might be off on the math (doing it in my head real quick as I type this) but my 19x10.5 is a +23. So your 19x11 +28 would be like what... about +5mm out more on offset, not to mention the extra 1/4" of wheel width (remember, 1/2" wider = 1/4" per side) and 1/4" is like 5-6mm. Add that up and you're talking +10-11mm out more compared to what I'm running, and my car needed a roll and a pull to clear... so that 19x11 +28 would definitely need the same, and I'm running around 2.1-degrees of camber out back.
