yes spacers will enable clearance. how large of a spacer depends on the spoke design or pad/disk.

They fit!

18X8 Tourmalines that came with 245/40's. Slightly smaller diameter than required for the LS, so I've ordered a set of 245/45 MXV4's.

do you think ill even have to do a roll to fit a 19x8.5/9.5+12 on a first gen with around 225-245 tires lowered 3-4"
im fine with rolling them but im not sure if thatll be aggressive enough to sit flush with the body with stock/natural camber.
ive found a few similar setups on here but didnt see any that stated their fender mods

One of the cleanest 95-96s I've seen so far. Normally I'm only intrested in the 97'-00' because that's what I'm looking for but yours has me reconsidering this model.

Can someone please help.

I am trying to put some BMW style 95s on my 2000 LS.
Rims size are 19x9 +24 235/35
19x10+24 245/45

The fronts won't clear the calipers.

My wheels are redrilled............not running calipers.

I thought they woulda fit but I guess not. What size spacer would I need? Lowest size possible.

it depends, 10mm-15mm are usually what's needed...

It looks like I need longer studs too.

Does that sound right?
