silvermate Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 i have a little advice don't put BMW wheels on you lexus the tires that would fit are 205/65/15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenmore Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Size isn't the only concern. I bought my 1990 LS400 with an aftermaket tire/wheel combo. The wheels were 16x8 generic chrome steel, 5 spoke. The PO had some pretty hefty tires, Z rated Bridgestone RE730s, 225/50/16. They are brand new so I've kept them. I just swapped out the wheels for some Platinum wheels I bought on ebay, same size 16x8. I don't know how it is with Lexus wheels but with Mercedes wheels, the wheel offset, that is the offset of the centerline of the wheel versus the surface they are mounted on is very important. You may end up with wheels that stick out too far from the fender of your car. You are on the right track though. You can pick up cheap near new tire/wheel combos from local sellers that are upgrading to fancier and bigger wheels. Just think how eager this seller is to get these out of his garage. glenmore 1990 LS400 1991 MBZ 300CE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF3 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 [AARON123: I have been wondering if some 225/50/17 will fit on my 1990 ls400. Would the 225/50/16 you have tried be the same size as the ones I am wondering about in just a different rim size. Did they rub at all?] on your stock rim the only size that would fit is the 205/65/15 tires. If you're interested in buying the 94+ rims from Lexus, then your optional tires change. Use Tirerack's Website and check out the different generation LS models, with Differnt wheels. I believe the wheels are interchangeable between the years, ie Lexus LS400 205/65/15-1991, 225.65.16-94 and so on. I'd check with MrSypher, Lextasy, VMF, and SW03ES since they are the ones who know more about wheels than I do. You can also check with the guys from Tirerack.com and see what they say.

chips229 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hi,ive just put 18s on my mk1 LS400,and its very very important that you keep as near to the standard wheel offset which is 50.The lower the offset the more the wheels will stick out from the car and rub the top of the wheel arches. http://www.toyo.co.uk/index.php?fuseaction...nverter.welcome theres a link to check that your tyres and wheels,keep your speedo right..

vyhanh Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Link to work out what is best: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp It says that the diameter difference should be within 3% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex4me Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Link to work out what is best:http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp It says that the diameter difference should be within 3% I got a great deal on some Blizzak's in the 205/55/16 size and put them on the car for the winter months without major issue. The thing to realize is that the speedo will be off about 3mph and the tires aren't rated to handle the same amount of weight as OEM. For 16" wheels, you ideally want 225/55/16's.
