love emitz, too bad they don't make them in 19s from work. they were step lipped and upped to 19s by some dude here in socal on a y33 however, and they looked great.

awesome body work! any pics of the car slammed on the air suspension?

20% tint.

currently the car is sitting on the front upper control arms. tons more room to go low in the rear. been reading up on cutting provisions in the strut tower, for clearance of the upper control arm. i need to hammer down the standing seam pinch weld in the fender arch, but im finding that my tires have done some already. moving the harness is top priority atm, though.

Here's mine....

93 UCF10 running 235/40/18

It's on standard shocks but has "low" king springs but was told yesterday they may actually be "tein" springs which are better quality. Unsure of the height & offset as I recently bought the car & that's what it came with.

Am currently looking for 19" rims. Tried 20 yesterday but was going to required machining the mags to reduce the offset (they were 20) & rolling the gaurds. Not worth the hassle & $$$ so hoping 19" will be a happy medium.

Any tips or pointers would be gratefully received.

Does anyone know what sort of offset you need with an 8.5 inch rim?
Saw some wheels i like but there a 38 offset and no idea how they would fit.
Cheers.

what year car? fitment not only depends on offset but also on drop (lowered), tire size, and wheel design (to clear brake calipers). 95-up LSs have bigger front calipers. a +38 may fit depending on the spoke design.

I am looking to buy these wheels locally, but do not know if they will fit on my 2000 LS400:
19x 9.5 +20
19x8.5 +15

Thanks in advanced.
