Default Will This Offset Work On A 95 LS?

I am looking at a pair of 17x9 wheels with a 24mm offset in the front and 17x10 wheels with a 20mm offset. Will these fit the Lex?

I think you'll have to roll your fenders but that's about it. Iirc 2LS's have deeper fender wells than 1LS's.

What disk setup are the fronts? You would need a high disk setup and/or possibly a small spacer to clear the brake calipers.

and why not 18s if i may ask?
the rear will require a roll.
the fronts will require a roll and depending on the chosen tire size/ride height a mild pull and/or increased negative camber as well.

little more tire (sidewall) and just something different...typically everyone goes with the 18in +

If I don't like the way it looks...I've got a set of 18's in mind already...
