Default Help needed with wheel purchase.

Sorry but not having much luck finding a definite answer. I'm trying to purchase and don't want to make a mistake. Here is the scenario.

Work wheels
20x9.5 (+36) - R Disk
20x10.5 (+9) - A Disk

05 LS430 going on coilovers. Shaved smooth rear fender.

Will this clear my brakes? Will a factory alignment(camber/toe) adjust enough for the rear
with a stretched tire?

Many Thanks for any help on this. I just don't want to be stuck with wheels that won't work.

WHICH work wheels?
if you did not know, offset has nothing to do with BRAKE clearance, the wheel face (aka "DISK") design does.

R disk is for big brakes, so it looks like youll probably be good there.
A disk is 'standard' on those are going on your rears so youll probably be good.

you mightve known all of this and i wish i could help you more.

Thanks! I was 99% sure all this would work. The rear was really the main concern. I still may have to pull the rear a little bit. I just didn't want to mess with paint work and change the stock body.
