Default wheel fitment question

Hey everyone I wanted to know if these will fit a 05 LS430. I am in the market for a LS430 so I am not sure what fitment will work or not..The wheels that I am looking at I know will fit a GS but not familiar with the LS fitments. THe wheels are 20x9 +30 and 20x10.5 +29. Any mods needed to make it work??
thanks in advance
Tony

I am not sure what would you recommend? I was thinking 255 or 265s in the rear but not sure what to run in the front though..
thanks
