Question 18×11.5 +5 18×13 +0 5×114.3 Fit Ls 400???

I own a completely stock '98 Ls 400 and was wondering if these would fit? Anything would help really.

Depends on your definition of "fit" There are LS's out there with those size wheels on them, but they are either wide body or have had the fenders severely modified...

on the front, 9" is about as wide as you can expect to fit, and in the rear, probably 10 or 11" with stretched tires even...

And another thing is that they are medium disk. I'm hoping to go test fit them without tires this weekend!

Being stock height, it will poke though the main issue would be the front caliper clearance. If you lower then you'll have the pulling, shaving/rolling and probably some camber plates done up. With that aggressive a stance, you will not be looking to get 10K miles out of the tires.
