hey fellas i was looking for new wheels now and dont really know anything about the requirements needed for my car. I have an 2001 LS430 and i liked these wheels but the guy told me that my caliber is to big so i might have to use spacers but he is not sure. the wheels specs are 19x8.5 44 offset 5-114.3 will these fit my car? if not what are my specs for my car thanks

 

wont fit bro...sorry, look for a 19x8.5 +40 or 19x9 +35 for fronts

rears 19X9.5 +40 or 19x10 +45

unless you want some VIP fitment and dont mind shaving or rolling fenders and stretch tires than i can help you with that fitment also

and what style wheels you looking for? some wheel manufacturers offer custom offsets and faces to make it fit various needs

 

Have to make sure they wil clear your brakes too ... I just sold my previous wheels to a guy and he told me a shop told him he needed a 25 mil spacer on the +38 offset on a 19x8.5

sooo do some research on your wheels ...

 

So these will fit but i need spacers in the front? if i do will those spacers effect anything? thanks everyone for their help

 

if you get like a small spacer it wont affect anything, just as long as you get 6 full turns from the lugs, if you dont them you need longer studs

 

thanks so i will only need spacers for the front wheels i believe?

 

so your buying 19x8.5 +44 all around? try the fronts on before buying a spacer they might fit...i dunno the style(spokes, mesh, full face) of the face of the rim so cant really tell you if they will fit

 

Yes i am buying 19x8.5 +44 all around. as you can see in the picture I have an 91 LS400 with the amg monoblock wheels on that car (sorry the pic is small)and i needed spacers but the ride is not smooth and those are 18's. for the LS430 I wanted to get the asa st2 wheels 19" i dont know the specs for the amg wheels these wheels are very similar to each other.

 

It is not just the offset that matters, you need a "high disk" wheel... basically a wheel that is designed with a lot of room behind the spokes to clear the bigger brake caliper...

the offset is not the deciding factor for brake clearance, so, do NOT choose a wheel just based on its offset and assume it will fit... what you CAN do, is go to sites like Tire Racks, and input your vehicle information, and everything they show you has already been tested on your style vehicle to ensure fitment and clearance...

 

I went to the tire Rack site and this wheel did not show up on my vehicle. I just want to make sure before i buy this wheel. If i get 12mm spacers will this fit then?

 

Try makaveli wheels brand new wheel custom fit for your car "no spacers"
think about it ok.....

 

Jimmy,

It seems like those sets of wheels are like trying to fit a size that could fit but is not perfect for the car. You are talking about a 12mm spacer now, I would not recommend anything over a 5 to 7mm spacer.

If you want the best fit get 3-Piece custom made wheels. Only problem is that its expensive $$$.

My wheels got real good clearance on the brakes. Check out my sig and if you like them I can call wheelsnext.com the company I got them from or I can contact torkwheels.com, they are the manufacturer. Let me know, I'm always willing to lend a helping hand...

 

I don't mind getting spacers. You said that i will need 12mm spacers but on the tire rack site it says i need 25mm spacers thanks for all your help
