What does 690kg mean on the LC818 is it the amount each wheel can support?
If yes,what is the industry standard for a 19" rim?
Thanks
(690KG=1518lbs)

^^^ Yes, that's the load rating per wheel. According to the Internet, 690Kg is the minimum load rating for 5x114.3 wheels.

Thanks montgb and for also answering my questions about the LC818 wheel/tire fitment for my IS-F

yup, that is pretty standard for 5x114.3 wheels and that's a pretty large cushion for a car that's less than 4,000 lbs

Hey guys, I know quite a few of us are rolling on the new LC 818s so I was wondering if any, what kind of rubbing issues anyone is having in the front and rear, and what you have done or plane to do about it. Also lemme know what you are dropped on. Thanks

im running d2 coilovers slammed with 225/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear. I am flush in the rear and no rub but I do rub a little in the front fender wall. No big deal theres already a hole in my fender but I just live with it.

I understand the front but I am wondering why i am hearing some rubbing in the back when i hit a dip in the road or a nice sized bump. Im on Tein S Techs.

^^^ First thing to do is figure out where you're rubbing. Damaster32's got no rub in the rear because he's running a stretched 245 tire in the rear. Look at your tires to see where the score marks are - most likely you're hitting a metal tab located where the bumper and quarter panel meet. If that's the case, here's what you can do:

1. Grind down the tab. There are a couple threads on CL about this.
2. Get lower profile tires.
3. Get coilovers

You might also be rubbing on the fender itself. See if there's any tire residue on the fender lip. If there is, you can roll or shave your fenders to get rid of the rub.

Mont, I dont think i am rubbing on the fender itself bc i dont see any marks on the outside of the tire.

I wonder in the 5mm spacer in the rear for the flat center caps is causing me to rub? I need some new back tires. I wonder what size i should go with, currently running 265/30s

Must be nice to have rims that rub, this dude can't even get an appointment

What day you wanna come and Ill call them and tell them? But a Sat would be pushing it since their only open till noon...

Yeah, that would do it. Pretty easy to test if this is the cause of the problem.

Least expensive fix is to ditch the spacers and get some raised center caps. You can get new tires too (a la Damaster32), but I don't know how you feel about stretching. Most expensive fix is get a set of coilover with adjustable dampening.

I wanted to eliminate my 5mm spacers as well, but still use the flat caps. Thinking of cutting my spindles slightly to make this happen. I asked for advise but an only getting flamed in this thread... Lol! https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...r-spindle.html
