Default Need help with wheel fitment

I want to buy some rims for my 1995 LS400 from a fellow member and was wondering if they will clear the front calipers. Front size are 19x9 +33.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.

offset and sizing is only part of the equation for brake clearance. wheel/spoke design is the main component! what model wheel are you trying to get? that would be most helpful.

I'm considering some AME Shallens in the LS wheel classifieds. They're 19x9 +33's in front.

based on what I see in that for sale thread, I can guarantee you those will not clear the brake calipers without use of at least a 10mm spacer. the shallens are normal disk. you need wheels with "hi" disk to clear the calipers.
