Default Offset?

Just bought some work eurolines and soon to buy some coils, just want to make sure I'll be ok with the offset.

Front: 19x9 +25

Rear: 19x10 +25


Thanks

I'm surprised you got no love from the wheel guys
Have you asked in the wheels section?

I'm no expert at all and with my limited knowledge, you'll definitely need to shave and even roll the fenders, depending how low and your tire size.

The LS offset is weaker than the GS.

Im deff no expert when it comes to wheel fitment on the LS but, from the research I did before I bought my wheels that seems like its going to be a pretty aggressive fit. By my calculation you are loosing 1.5 inch of clearance on the front outside. And .4 inside and a little over 2 on the outside of the rear. Based on the stock 17x7.5 45

Were in VA are you?

i know you would have no problems with that on a gs with a moderate drop but don't know for sure on the ls. should be cool with a slight drop, let us know...

I'm not a pro with the LS fitment, but I think that should fit fine. I'd suggest going with a 225 in the front instead because since the LS430 is such a heavy car a 215 may not hold up. Any pictures of the Eurolines?

Front should be fine but you may need to roll or shave the rear depending on the tires you select and the drop your going to have.
