LS400 owners post your wheel setup

Pole Position
Leon Hardiritt Ritter
19x10 +21 235/35
19x11 +24 255/35
Right sides are cut
Left sides are rolled.
Long story.............
Originally wanted to go 225/245 but 4 of the shops around here couldnt get the tires to stretch. So I went one size up and its barely stretched and my tires are really close to the fenders

You could run a meatier tire but would need either more fender work or more camber or both...
In pretty much every scenario with a nice flush fitment, you probably will want to at least shave the fender lips off on the inside to eliminate rub. From there, what you have to do is entirely specific to the wheels you want to run and the look you are after.

need help!
How would these fit? Not sure of what tire size to run yet either. I'm lowered on BC extreme drop coilovers. I want that VIP look, I'm pretty sure these would fit how I want, but for tire size I have no idea where to start, willing to roll fenders

Wheels aren't really VIP style/look though.
Also 18s on the 96-00 body's look REALLY small unless you are laying frame. you'll need some super thin tires to get the stretch you need/want, and then you'll need to bring the car down super low to take up the fender gap. It will look awkward otherwise. Just my $0.02.
Oh and welcome to CL!

still running my 17x8+50 215/50/17x10.5+27 235/50 setup since im now
also invested in a first gen odyssey project so updates are slow
planning on getting either 18x10.5 or x11 rears and running the 17x10.5 up front for awhile
any input on if i should get 10.5 or 11 on my 93?

Orders are back from a Fresh Refinish... Now just to make these monsters fit under stock fenders without a boatload of camber!
19x11 fronts with 3.5" lips and 19x12.5 rears with 5" lips; camber ~ -4º at ride height, ~ -8º aired out; offsets: top secret!

man i dunno how you're gonna fit these mitch, i'm pretty much maxed out on my setup on stock fenders no pull!
the only diff is, i have NRCAs up front which pull out the wheel past the fender already. and my rears i like to tuck. so i suppose with your setup you won't be getting any tuckage, but will get some sweet tsurachi!
can't wait to see them mounted!!!

Please help.
Thank you

mine is a 93 and has no problem clearing really high offsets for example running a 10.5+27 up front without spacers
the mrr were very skinny IMO with high offsets but had no issues clearing on my car and my friends ls430

And I am not big on that look either. -4° is what I ran on the street with most of my track/race cars I have built... So I am totally comfortable with that as a daily camber setting. Im definitely not going for that onikyan look.
Didn't what?

The tears are going to need less work than I expected, but still some work. Keep in mind I also do not have any aftermarket suspension arms... So that is going to be an obstacle to overcome as well. I really want to show what is possible without the crazy aftermarket arms and addons.
I'll DM you some pics on IG
I should qualify when I say "stock fenders," I don't mean 100% OE, I mean not flared or radiused. They will be shaved, rolled and I might split the panel to get a clean pull... Basically the same thing anyone with a roller and cutoff wheel could do at home. I'm going to do everything I can to avoid bacon-fenders and having to do any bondo work. The paint on all my fenders is fubar'ed thanks to the OE fender trim pieces, and it's been a very hard winter for chips and parking lot dings... Since I pulled the wheels off in the fall, my car has been ravaged by parking lot ash-holes and it is littered with damage! So at the end of Aug, it'll be getting a full respray and clean-up, assuming my deal doesn't fall through!
