SC4Million Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 OK this is REALLY beating a dead horse but.... Does anybody know what the STOCK offsets are for the GS400. I searched both forums and came up with every peice of info except the one I need. I really like the chrome five spoke wheels that came on the 98 - 2000 GS400's I just need to know it they are compatible with the SC's +50mm offset.
SKperformance Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 They fit they are also in the 50mm range their is a guy on ebay with the same rims on ebay selling his car in canada http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...me=STRK:MEWA:IT

SC4Million Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Yeah...I LOVE the way they look on the SC. As for tires I'd prob. go with some Falken ZE-512's or some Pilot Sport A/S's One item of concern though: been reading on the GS forum and there seems to be some confusion about if the 98+ GS400 Chrome 17"s are factory chromed or sent out by the dealer. I've seen a few threads of leaking rims due to the chrome peeling. And man are they exspensive, havent looked real hard but $900 for a set of four seems to be the going rate. Maybe I should sell my 17" chromies that I have now. :D

SC4Million Posted November 30, 2004 Author Posted November 30, 2004 try a 245/45R17.....thats acctually closest to the over all size of the 225/55R16 that came on the car. The reason I know this is I work for National Tire and Battery, so I was playing in the warehouse...took a few different sizes and stacked them up next to each other. 245/45R17 Wins!!!! Plus the 8 inch wide rim will take a 245 well.
