Default LS430 19" Tires Staggered, need advice.

So I finally got my rims, but unfortunately, the offsets I was given and according to the company is "the MOST AGGRESIVE" offset for my 01 LS430.

So here goes:

Fronts:
19 x 9 + 38

Rears:
19x10 + 40

What size tires will make this work "FOR NOW", I'm sure i will have a different set of wheels in a few months.

BTW, I have the AIR RIDE CONTROLLER that will lower the car at a moments notice and will most likely be lowered to the ground when parked and maybe just a little when riding around.

This IS my daily driver after all.

Thanks
Mike

Mike, what disk setup do you have on the rears?

I would go 225/35/19 F and 255/30/19 R + shaved/rolled fenders depending on what disk you have for the rears.

And for all of you who are going and ...yes, I know that's a bit of a stretch.

the offsets aren't that low though, he needs stretched tires like that already to slam the car?

My suggestion was just in case he had super low disk in the back. Besides, he wants to go the VIP route, so either way it'll work out.

Are the offsets that low though?

For the zauber gettins or ssr sovereigns, I was told that 19x9 +38 and 19x10+38 with 245/40 and 273/35 should fit fine. Never get a chance to test it because both of these wheels are discontinued

Well, to answer some questions, the FRONT wheels are HIGH DISC with minimal lippage..Maybe 1.5" and the back wheel does have about a 3" lip...

I run 20x9 +30 & 20x10 +30 and I can still go more aggressive.
Those offsets are moderate for LS430. U can run 245-35-19 & 275-30-19. Maybe run Falkens cuz Falkens aren't that FAT like other tires. But it all depends on how low u are going to drop the car.

just to be clear, with your setup, you have to roll all fenders

How about running a fat tire set up? This will fill up the wheel wells better, maybe a 235 or 245/40/19 and 265 or 275/35/19. Shave the fenders and use spacers, atleast you have an idea on what specs you are going to need on your next wheels.

fat tire set-up sound nice and comfy to me..specially if I drive this thing everyday...

BTW, I am going with some Falkens...probably 452s

Falken 452s are good tires.
Nice pick
