This is what they look like on my LS. These are 19s (x8 front and x 9.5 rear) with BFGoodrich TA KDW2s (245 and 275). I've had them on my car for about 1k to 1500k miles. Which are off the car already and also selling them. FYI.

If only these cleared the Brembos...I personally think this is the BEST looking 5 star wheel out on the market, regardless of price.

I don't think the 19's clear without spacers either. Personally, I don't want to use spacers. Too much extra strain put on suspension components not designed to carry extra stress, but to each his/her own.
