Default need help on wheels spec fitment

Hi I would like know if 19x10.5 +4 and 19x11.5 +11 looks nicer on my 98 ls400, or 19x10.5 +10 and 19x12.5 +1 looks better, would I need to do anything to the fenders like roll, pull, or cut ect. for both wheels set? Thank you club lexus

Welcome to Club Lexus.

If you intend to tuck tire, on both accounts, you will need to shave and pull fenders.

Not necessarily, has to be high disk for BBK clearance. Many upper end wheels are targeted with cars with larger calipers but make sure before ordering/buying.

For a 12.5 inch rim +1 offset in the rear you are going to need A LOT of negative camber to fit those. That is gigantic.

So I'm better off going with the 19x10.5 +4 for fronts and 19x11.5 +11 for rear, if I don't wannna miss with camber or too much fender pulling? Because I'm going to pick up a set of Wald 19" wheels this weekend in SF........
