Default 19in LEXION 203 on a 95LS lowered

hey guys im just wondering if 19in lexion 203 would have any rubbing problem or clearence issues, cause my car is lowered already with tanabe df210 springs....any help will be appreciated.

the sizes are

19x 8.5 fronts with +38 and the rears would be 19x 9.5 with a very similar offset. what do you guys think??

Probably no issue. I'm running more extreme offsets than that and I just needed a slight roll. The LS can handle more offset than the SC so you should be good.

Im not exactly sure lets see... a 95 is a UCF20 correct? Well, Leon Hardiritt Wheel's was able to run:

F 1990 +33 R 19100 +36
F 245/35-19 R 275/30-19

and


SIZE:F 1985 +39 R 19100 +34
TIRE:F 245/35-19 R 275/30-19

Both of these cars have no Fender modification, just lowerd and adjusted camber to clear the fender.

For sure... just take your time, do some research, and find something that fits. No one likes poor fitting wheels! Fabulous Runs these specs on their UCF20: 20inch x 9.0j + 26 Low-Disk 20inch x 10.5j + 30 Special-Low-Disk with 245/35 ZR20 and 285/30 ZR20.

this makes me believe that you will be able to run a 9.0 +30 and 10.0 +30. No doubt it will look sick and may need a little bit of rolling. If you really wanted to be bold, I would go with Fabulous' specs! Run a slightly streched tire, roll your fender, and maybe run 3 or 4 degrees of negative camber if it's needed and your set! And before any one else chimes in and says that you will chew up your tires- do note that Im running camber in the rear to fit my wheels and I have not gone through tires any faster. Keep the toe correct and the camber negative and you will be fine.

They make the 203's in different offsets. Do your research, find something that fits to your taste, and love your car! come over www.vipstylecars.com 's form for lots of good offset and width information on VIP platforms.

The wheels on the first picture. Where did you get them, and what do they call? I like them.

That exact model is the Leon Hardiritt Ritter. Leon Hardiritt are at the top of the class when it comes to fine wheels. If you don't mind spending some serious money on the wheels I can put you in contact with somebody that can source these for you.

You can find cheaper alternatives if you like that model though, I would recomend the Work Euroline DH.



Work wheels are built fully custom to your order so you can get the perfect width and offset for your taste. Further more, a long time vender to clublexus (D2Autosports) is currently having a sale on Work Wheels. Get a hold of Derrick at D2 (easiest way is to use AOL IM- his screen name is D2AUTOSPORT ) and talk with him. Let him know I sent you.

Thanks much. I like the wheels in your black car too. I am not trying to spend a lot on wheels so those are good.

It looks like the car is lower too. I never changed anythings on a Lexus before so I have no idea which springs I should look for. Any idea? And do I have to change the shocks as well? Does LS430 use air suspension?

Sorry for lots of questions
