Default LS430 wheel fitment problem

I bought some wheels for my LS430 checking out every dimension. I must have gone wrong somewhere because when I fitted them on, the wheels were rubbing against my calipers. How do I fix this problem? Should I purchase spacers? and what are the smallest spacers I can get? Any help would be appreciated, THANKS!!

you can get 5mm spacers, i think that's the least standard ones out there

but your problem was the disk type. ls430 has big brakes from factory, you need high disk application wheels in order to clear the calipers. or wheels where spokes curve out more to clear calipers

you can get 3mm slip on as well. Or go bigger with 15mm +
The LS430 has large brakes so you have to make sure they have enough brake clearance before buying. If you go with a quality wheel, they will list what brakes each wheel can fit and if they are multi piece, a high disc for big brakes.
