Please advise do not want to guess with 5k

want to buy wheels, they are 20x9.5 -5 & 20x11 -2. question is will they fit a ls430 and with what work, cars going in the shop this week for paint, so would be a good time if its needed.

i have searched and searched and searched, but i need answers on this specific wheel, thanks again.

Pretty sure you're gonna need some work to flare that. Pretty aggressive for stock body ls.

Make sure they clear BBK too. Your -5 can turn into -17

maybe a small flare and camber in the mid teens. otherwise you're gonna need a pretty aggressive body work.

DO IT

i had a thread on CL about two - two.5 years back that said what the most aggressive fitment could be on an 04-06 LS430 by only slamming it and having max stock negative camber.  it was only like 10.5 10-15 offset in the rear if my memory is correct.  this was assuming shaved rear fenders and a 245x35x20 rear tire.  i found it fairly easy to pull the rear fenders a little on my previous ls430 so that would give you easily another 5-10mm.  but the tab area (if looking at the rear left wheel at about the 3 o'clock position) was hard to get that area to pull out evenly and i think we had to shave it down a little.

 if you want to search my screen name was sojah on there as well and it was in the ls430 section.

unless you are on air and ride aired up, the front is going to poke and not be drivable slammed unless you do some fender pulling and/or reshaping, with those specs.

Thanks guys, i found the thread on CL and the one you helped the guy on yesterday Sojah. going to talk to the body shop today.

good luck, and be sure to post up the finished product  ;)

I'd put a hold on the body work until your wheels get in personally.  You are going to need both body work and camber to make that work (and look good).  

After you have them, decide how much suspension work you want to do, and the rest will be body/paint to finish.

I run 19x11 +20 (245/35) rear on natural camber, and my wheel sits almost parallel with the quarter...tire hides behind the quarter.  You'll have about another inch to figure out what you want to compensate with, factoring in driving height etc.

That's a pretty aggressive setup. My fronts are 20x10 +20 and that's with roll and pull and stock camber adjustment at about -2. Also my rears are 20x11 +19 with traction/camber/toe adjustable arms, rolled and pulled. With that said and done I was sitting with lip to quarter panel at about -5 to -6 degree of camber. Hope that helps

what was your rear tire size celsior ^ ^ ^  ??

and without doing an offset calculator a 11" wide +20 seems very close to a 10.5 +15 to me  (which is the widest one could safely go if stretched tire, shaved, gently pulled, stock max negative camber, slammed, on an LS430, which i noticed when i put a 10mm spacer on my 10.5" +25  ;)
