  1. Anyone please? Before I pay for new shocks and springs...and end up paying for something with no results...could it be the 046 offset? Because they were off an LS and now on a GS? Thanks quote name='Xarnette15' timestamp='1310485088' post='437524'] I am having more Rub Issues than I projected. The wheels are staggered Vertini Fasion. Specs below. They came off an LS430 They are rubbing when I have passengers or when I go over certain bumps. Is this a result of Offset, tire size, or worn rear shocks/springs? Any suggestions would be appreciated. The rub is on the sidewall of the rear tires. Stock Height Front are 20 x 8.5 HM 046 Hankook 245/35ZR20 95Y Rear are 20 x 10 HM 046. Hankook 275/30R20 97Y Off of a 2003 or 2004 LS430 Kindest Regards

  3. I believe those are wheels off of a 3rd Gen GS. They were not an option on the 2nd Gen but are a lexus wheel to the best of my knowledge. Not sure on exhaust.
  4. Someone local to me has staggered Vertini Fashion wheels for sale off his 2003 LS 430. I wanted to pick up Lexani LSS-10's but these Vertini's are a great deal. I was curious if they will fit my car? Front are 20 x 8.5 HM 046 Tires are Hankook 245/35ZR20 95Y Rear are 20 x 10 HM 046. Hankook 275/30R20 97Y Thanks for your time. Kindest Regards

I was curious if they will fit my car? Front are 20 x 8.5 with HM 046 written on the back of one spoke which i believe is offset. Tires are Hankook 245/35ZR20 95Y Rear are 20 x 10 Same HM 046. Hankook 275/30R20 97Y Will these wheels with these tires bolt onto my stock height 2005 GS 300? If this has to go into Wheels & Tires forum I apologize, I just thought it was an appropriate question for other GS owners. Kindest Regards
  6. has not set their status

  7. Big Fan. I have an 05 GS300 looks Identical w/o the wheels. I was wondering do you have any performance mods for HP increase. When it is financially feasible I want to grab 20's & do a drop but I really would hate to lose a ton of power w. the weight of the wheels. Is there a sizeable difference in P/Torque? Regards
  8. I own a 2005 GS300. In terms of performance it is stock. If anyone cares to share their knowledge it would be appreciated. I do not plan to modify this car for another year or two, (currently 62k on odometer, by then maybe 85-100K). At this time I hope to be in a position to have a daily driver and start work on my GS, as we know 100k shouldnt be a concern when building these cars, Correct? I would eventually like to add 20's to the car, TTE front lip & sportline rear bumper, also a slight drop to remove any wheel well gaps, nothing crazy low, just enough to make it pleasing to the eye. Also perhaps a brake upgrade to slow the larger wheels, advice here is appreciated also. I do not need any crazy power out of this car, I know the motors have the potential for some serious HP, but I would like to make moves to compensate for the larger wheels, added weight ect. Maybe a 50-75hp increase is possible. Any suggestions? I have read through the forum and found many of you say that if your not going turbo its a waste of time/money. If that is the case I will have to strongly consider it, however is there a possibility of reaching my goal of 50-75 more hp with Intake, exhaust, chip, ect? Also does anyone know the weight of the WORK EUROLINE DH wheels in 20 in sizes? I have searched & emailed WORK but with little success. I like the Idea of a light wheel, but I doubt I will be throwing the cash down for Forged wheels as I want this car to just be a cruiser, nothing wild. Other wheel suggestions are also appreciated. I have currently looked at WORK Euroline, MRR HR2 & HR4, & Volk Progressive TS. Basically suggestions for products from Wheels/Lowering/Power are all welcome!! Your insight is eduction for me. Kindest Regards, Chris

  11. Do you still have the foglights? I emailed him about the same thing. Never heard back. Are you in need of both? I need pass. side housing/cover.
  12. Need a 2nd gen GS passenger side foglight housing please email rose.christopher@yahoo.com regards
  13. Agreed! I only had this change done by the dealer because it was my 60k service. I change my oil 95% of the time. Next change I will revert back to synth. This dealer was awesome w. everything from prices to time & checking in before proceeding with repairs, they just missed that one request. While it is disturbing I cant say its enough to keep me away from having my next major service done there. I will be sure to be very clear though. regards
  14. I had my 60K service done @ a local toyota dealership. Overall great service, however I did notice on my bill it said Oil-Bulk. I had told the service manager over the phone that the car had fully synthetic in it. When I called he said that they use a synthetic blend from toyota unless it is specified on the oil cap. I reminded him that I had mentioned the car ran fully synthetic & the sticker they replaced from the last oil change specified the brand & type of oil used. All in all he told me it is nothing I should worry about. I asked if I could revert back to fully Synthetic @ my next change & he said it shouldnt be a problem. Should I be concerned? All other services provided were top notch. Regards.
  15. yes the lexus centers are too large. I will look into Nissan. Regards
  16. Hello, I purchased a set of stock 18x8 wheels off a 2008 Infiniti G37 for my 2005 GS300. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for finding blank center caps so I do not have to ride w. the infiniti's. Regards.
  17. Thanks for the advice. Recieved a great brice break from toyota. Regards
  18. Great. For some reason I thought that all they would do is oil change and so on. I will give them a call monday to see about pricing. Regards.
  19. Thanks! Im not sure if Toyota will do the 60K service on a Lexus but I will inquires. Regards!
  20. Does anyone know where I can purchase blank center caps? The ones from my stock 16 in lexus wheels are too big for the infiniti holes & I would prefer to not rock the Infiniti Centers. Also does this sound right? The Lexus center bore is 35mm-40mm. These Infiniti wheels are 43mm. So I would need a Spacer? It was also recommended that I purchase 235/40-18 tires if I upgrade to the 18 in wheel. Or 240/40-18. The second would be wider, correct? Any opinions on that? What have some of you had to pay for 60K service? Regards!
  21. Hello, Just relocated back to Connecticut. Does anyone have any Independent Shops that are reasonable in New England? I am in need of a 60k service. Regards.
  22. Glad to hear you resolved the problem. I had/have the same problem with my hood latch sticking. For the first few months I would avoid opening my hood at all cost. For my car it was the cable strecthing but now that I have located it to the right of the latch all you have to do is give it a tug and the latch releases....if that helps anyone w. that problem.
  23. Ill be changing the center caps for sure. I paid $450 for all 4....so it was a cheap pick up. I dont mind the stock GS wheels but mine are chrome which im not a huge fan of. Ill see how they look on the car & if they dont blend well im sure i could sell em. Regards. Those are nice wheels and a great price too. I believe the bolt pattern will be the same but the centre bore for Infiniti is typically larger (66.1 vs 60.1mm) so you may need an adaptor ring. Would I need to purchase this adaptor ring or would any shop I have mount & balance my tires & wheels have them at hand? Thanks!
