luvmy98LS400 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Can you tell us about handling differences of your LS with the 20" rims vs. stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handygal Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Looks good. Not my favorite brand but they look sharp. Really like that the style doesn't show the brakes much. Where did you get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromundr Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 Thanks for the great response! I have had the wheels for approximatly 1 month. I used to work for american racing and was given a set as a going away present. I really was not looking into putting 20's on my Lexus fearing that the ride would really suffer. I figured I would take the set put them on for a couple of weeks (let my boss see them on my car) then sell them. The wheels are a +50 offset and the bolt pattern is the same as a ford Explorer. I figured they would be easy to sell. Well got them on and to my surprise I had to make NO modifications. Clearance is perfect with the closets area being the Bolt on the upper control arm, I have about 3/4" Clearence. The biggest surprise is that my ride did not deterioate as much as I expected. I guess the lexus suspension is good enough to compensate for the change in wheels. I have really warmed up to these wheels and am contemplating keeping them! Before I put these on, I would never have guessed that they would fit so perfectly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

445187 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Has anyone had any problems going up to 20's? what is the preferred specs for doing this, offset etc, also if I don't go to 20, but maybe 18, 19, would the offset etc be the same? I have a 95 LS400. This site is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
