Club Linea Barletta On A "black" 1999 Ls400

[afaleti]

After 5 painful months of looking at rims for my 1999 Black LS400 I think

I have a deal and fit in the 2 Piece Silver Machined Club Linea Barletta 18 X 8 With 38 OFFSET.

The rims are from a Japanese company Crimson-Inc and sold by DiscountTireDirect.com in the USA.

Club Linea also make 2 other dope styles that catch my attention, MODELLO-UNO & MISTERIO 124 but unfortunately Modello-Uno is not sold by Discount Tire Direct

The total price of the Wheels, Tires (Hankook Ventus Sport K104) and Kits will come to around $1800.00 which fits into my price range.

Questions:

Does anyone have any information on Club Linea Wheels ?

What is the Quality of the Hankook Ventus Sport K104 Tires ?

What is the Widest Wheel/Tire combination I can put on a 99LS without rubbing ?

What is the best Offset Wheel you can get for the 1999 LS that will stick out without rubbing ?

Someone told me that the Stock wheel is a 45 offset and you could go down to a 35 offset ??

Thanks
