Only the disk size makes a differance when clearing the brake caliper. Offset and size have nothing to do with it.

even with the roller, you can damage the fender by giving the ripple effect. with the LS430, the inner fender has the screw indent in the fender for the fender trim, and if dont know how to deal with that indent, your fenders will ripple.

BTW, wheels looks nice for the price! lookinf good.

car looks very good, nice offsets you have there. the datasystem controller isn't hard to install at all. did it on my ls460l and just need to take some panels out. the instructions comes in with some diagrams, it's not too hard to understand.

the zweel are some very nice wheels, very good finish. my friend has the 22" version on his ls460l, looks awesome

Yes its fine. Straight out of the casting the wheel hub is machined to a 38mm offset; taking off another 2mm from the mounting face of the wheel is barely anything and won't compromise the strength of the wheel.
