Need help with spacers for 2004 LS430 please!

I have 2004 LS430
SSR Vienna Mos F 19x8.5 +37, R 19x9.5 +37 , 5x114.3
Tires: Continental F 225/35/19, R 235/35/19

The front doesnt clear the break. It need spacer, but I don't know which type or size I should get.
Didn't try to put on the rear yet. So I don't know if I need spacers on the rear


Please help thank you so much

I'm sure you can get a 10-15mm and clear your fronts for sure but make sure you don't push them out to much then you have to deal with fender cutting or rolling.

1" spacer with built in studs all around will be the simplest without too much gap. 10-15 will clear the front but then you will have to have to buy extended studs and have a mechanic put then in. you may have to cut the rear inner fenders a little (minor) and slight roll in the front. This is all depending how low you are or arent.

Why would anybody need a mechanic for THAT, thats like needing a shop to put spacers on =)

C'mon son!

If you wanna put long studs in, you have to remove the old ones.
Some folks dont have the tools (ie a large mallet) to knock the old ones out, or arnt comfortable disassembling the rear hubs (with drum-type park brake?) to get to them.
Other people find it NPZ though.
The OP doesn't seem to know what to do with spacers, so chances are he's not the most DIY in regards to replacing wheel studs. I also recommend a shop for him :)

The guy is obviously new at this...so I suggested a mechanic. especially since he doesnt know about offsets or has used the search function. At lease I didnt flame his post.

Yup i'm new that's why i'm asking for help
I prefer taking my car to the shop becuase i'm a noob. Even though i'd probbally can do it but i just want to have professional hands on it.



Anywayz
So should i get 1" spacer front and 50mm rear? In future i want to drop like 3".
I just want know what to get to make them all fit, so i can order and take themto the shop and get them done in one time (i hope)

25mm all around. Front and back. You will eventually want to change the rims or rebarrel them to the offsets you want. This will get the car looking good without much work. You can grow from this point in the future.

Relax bro, wasn't my intention to flame, but to inspire some confidence in the op.
I bet everyone knows that the best way to learn new stuff is from just doing it, and finding out the kinks by trial and error. Atleast that's the way I see it...

Of course it's nice to be able to have a bunch of "experts" on a forum to tell you what you should do in tiniest detail, but in the end the greatest satisfaction comes from finding it out yourself. Nearly everything is possible, you just have to have faith in yourself.
I'm starting to sound like a muthafrakking life coach , gotta quit this bs=)

My real advice: if you want it to just clear the brakes nothing crazy fitment-wise, grab a ruler and do some rough calculations, and based on that go get a few basic cheap slip-on spacers to try it out and see if they clear. If they clear barely you can sell them and then get a full set of a quople mm's larger proper bolt-on spacers or longer wheels studs and hub-centric slip-on spacers, depending on the width of the spacer needed.
If you aren't keen at the moment to drop the car and do fender work, then you could just get the 25mm bolt-on spacers, get them bolted on, and they will definitely clear your brakes front and rear. Try it out, and see if it looks good:biggthumpup:

Oh and don't get the 50mm ones... they are subject to A LOT of stress force, so if you pick those make sure they are made from a high quality high-stencile steel/chromoly/7K aluminum to prevent cracking...

Everybody has their first time

I guess I'll go for Ichiba v2 25mm. I don't know if they are good for LS430 or not.
I tried to look for H&R but seem they don't have for the ls430

Again thanks a lot guys
Really appreciate the help.
