Default Wheel Fitment Question for LS430

I need some advice on some wheels I am looking to purchase. I found some Voxx Misano wheels 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 with a +20 offset for a good deal. I want to know from any of you fitment gurus if these will fit without any modifications (rubbing issues, fender rolling, etc.) I don't want to do any major modifications just to put these wheel on.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice. I really appreciate it. I need to make my decision by Thursday!

You shouldnt have any problem. Are you going to lower the car? If so is it spring or coilover?

Hey AznRacer thanks for the feedback. As much as I want to lower the car it is my daily driver and comfort is important especially since I drive 100-150 miles a day visiting customers. At some point I might lower it but, I want to minimize problems as much as possible. So you think I will be ok without any rubbing issues or have to roll any of the fenders?

Thanks again!

If you don't lower your car, it will not rub although +20 will make your wheels hella flushed.

Its really depend on how low you want to go and what tires size you want. Below is a pic of my car when i had eibach springs. For your application i would say go with 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear

you should get an ss kit after the wheels to make the car sit 1.2 inches lower and the best part about the ss kit is that it does not mess with the suspension at all. = allows the car to sit 1.2 inches lower without changing a single thing about the geometry of the suspension. = same ride, 1.2 inches lower = better

BTW I just so have one for sale right now so PM me if interested.
