I have purchased 2 x 19 x 8.5 JJ +38 front and 2 x 19 x 9.5 jj +38 rear and planning to get the tires but confused on the best size of sidewalls without affecting speedometer accuracy.

I want a mean look on the back and read that 40 sidewalls will not affect much the accuracy and thought of 275/40r19 and 245/40r19 for front.

Any suggestions to consider

I wouldn't worry about them effecting speedometer accuracy 245/35r20 tire with 20x8.5 rim and the speedometer seems spot on. Worst case scenario it would only be 1-2 mph off nothing to worry about.

biggest problem with these cars are finding rims that will clear the caliper.

Not yet but have seen on the web few car with similar installation done already.

Dont want them to go past the fenders (if that's what conservative means).

The wheels did not clear the calipers in front side, now I think I need wheel spacers. Any ideas on that.

if your offset does not clear the caliper the only way to remedy this is to add spacers to clear the caliper or go with a different disk that would bring the spokes further from the caliper. Then once added spacer turn wheels and check fitment at full lock to see if the tires make any contact with the body. The caliper clearance is the largest problem when fitting wheels on the LS

I've had their B2autodesigns branded spacers on for almost 2 years with zero issues at all.

I have got spacers of 24mm to overcome the calipers with 10mm in front but it is looking too aggressive for me with 245/40r19 in front and 275/40/r19 at the back.

My first drive is good with rubbing happening in the back side.

Honestly, no.

Open on ideas to fix the aggressive look.

Buy different wheels, with the correct offset.

Yah agree his other options is fender flares, or suspension arms front and rear which will be like $3000 to correct everything and make it look right.
