Default need advise on rims for ls400

I am looking at a set of rims for my 95 ls400. These are the specs:
front: 19x8.5
rears: 19x9.5
bolt pattern: 5x120
There a real nice set, I just want to know if they'll fit. Thanks.

Not properly... first off, the bolt pattern is not the same, secondly the calipers may not clear those wheels...

you might be able to get away with an adapter/spacer, but thats not the best route to take... also, it'd be helpful to know the offset... If they are already a mid offset (20-25mm) then adding an adapter would put it at 0 or close and then they really wouldn't work...

bolt pattern is wrong, and running adapters would push the wheels out at least an inch which would probly make for a hell-dont-fit fitment
