I feel stupid for asking this, but I searched around for a while and couldn't find a definitive answer. Maybe I'm just retarded. Anyway, I need to know the offset for the stock 15x6.5" wheels on my '92 LS400. I have a set of 16x7.5" +32mm offset rims laying around and was wondering if that would fit on my car. It seems like it would fit ok in the rear, but might stick out in the front. Also, can anyone tell me the thread pitch on the wheel studs? 12x1.25 or 12x1.50?

will fit and will stick out int he front but not much. should bring it flush to the fender.

iirc its 12x1.50 but its been a while.

Nice, hmmm, I'll have to just sack-up and bolt them on to the car and see how they fit. I wonder if I'll have problems with the front tires hitting the fender once I lower the car? Thanks for the info dude.

You'll be alright. The thread pitch is 12x1.50

you shouldnt have any issues when its lowered

Awesome. I'm throwing these things on then! They're Kosei K1's in Gunmetal, should go nicely with the grey bottom on the car. I'll be sure to post pics.

love that wheel but im pretty sure i wont like the way it looks on the LS

the LS is such a big squared off car that 18"(or smaller) wheels that have 6 or fewer SKINNY spokes just doesnt look right. a nice thick 5-spoke is what ya want

but since u have them laying around and their only 16's i guess it couldnt look worse than stock

post pics.

Yeah, the only reason I'm running them is I have them laying around, and I really don't like the stock wheels very much. The Koseis are a tuner wheel, and I can't quite picture a tuner wheel on an LS, but I think it'll look decent enough, especially once I lower it. I can't quite afford the VIP treatment, I be ballin' on a budget y0! Haha.

glad to see another DSM owner on here! take a pic of the wheels when yo u put them on, it might be kinda interesting.

CptnTonus

Oh don't worry, I'll take plenty of pics. I'm a photography freak. Haha.

a 7.5 inch wide wheel with a +32 offset will not be flush. you won't have a problem with rubbing at stock height nor when lowered.

CptnTonus

Can you elaborate? Will it stick out, or the other way around?

the new setup will come outwards 19mm more than the OEM setup, i cant remember if thats enough to make it flush but it will be somewhat close.

CptnTonus

I'm just concerned about it sticking out past the fender. I hate the way that looks.
