Will these 19" Wald rims fit with no rubbing issues?
I am in the market for some rims and was wondering if these Wald Duchalelet rims would fit my 2001 LS430 without any rubbing issues in the front and rears. I was thinking of lowering the car also with some Tanabe Sustec 5 coilovers. I seen BippU! and Dr. Jecky with similar but with 8mm less offset in front and rears which theirs fit flush with fenders. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=wheel+offset
Just needed more input from other LS members before I commit to buy. Need some assuring on the _+8mm extra for both front and rears. I can't try them on because they are coming from another state. Please reply with your rims offset if similar or more aggressive without any mod to fenders and if any problems that may arrive or be over looked. Will I feel a great difference in steering kickback? Going for 19's instead on original 18" rim plans. Thanks in advance!
Thanks, DanozLS430...

Wald Rims are on there way to Hawaii, but tires are on order and arriving in about 3 weeks according to Firestone. I'll be installing the Potenza RE050A fat setup for comfort. ETA is about August 6. Same exact tire setup as the new G37 sports coupe. I'll also be installing the Tanabe Sustec 5 coilovers which is on a back order and expected to come in about 3 weeks or so. I'll put some pics on here once I get them installed.

nice.. i was about to cop those but i dont have another car to put all these wheels on. 19's are easier to fit than 20's so you're okay. even with 20's i was surprised at how aggressive you can go in the fronts when lowered without fender mods. i got a +17 20x8.5 to fit nicely. i had +35 20x10.5 in the rears before and this definitely needs fender mods and/or skinnier tires. i was running 295/25's and it rubbed out a grove on the outer sidewalls. your rears should be cake at 9.5 +35 with those tires.

Just got them installed. The ride feels just a bit noiser but not too bad compared to the stock 16's. No steering kickback felt on any bumpy roads. Looks great but needs to be lowered. I am awaiting Tanabe coilovers. Will post more pics later. The rims fit real well and tucked in there nicely. No fender mods either. I'll be riding high for a while until coilovers arrive.
