A very nice car. How did you fit the SC430 wheels into a LS4? Is it a direct fit? Is it a 2LS400?

Thanks

Hmm,, gonna go against the grain here a little. While I like the look of the HR3's on the 1LS, just dont think it really sets off the work you have done to it. The car looks good, no doubt, however as much as I hate the SC430 wheels in general, on your car they worked really well. Gave the car an aggressive/sporty look and definately something different. Always wondered how the HR3's would look on a 1LS. Anyway, car looks good but I, personally, would not have made this choice. Long as you're happy,, enjoy!!!!

Those look sweet - I've always liked that particular model of wheel. If I didn't have the SC430 wheels to reference against, I'd swear they were larger than 18s!

That's a perfect size IMHO for your car - I'd like to put the same ones on my LS if I had the scratch.

Nice Rims - Much better than before.

What did you do to the front grill? Is that a DIY?

SC430 wheels will NOT fit 95-00 LS400s since they wont clear the bigger front brakes.

Much better. SC430 rims weren't that great at all.

They will fit with a spacer and/or caliper shave


you still need to match up your front lip and get the rest of the kit yang!

the OP has a 1LS and therefore didnt have any brake issues

iirc to fit SC wheels onto a 2LS u need a minimum of 15-20/25mm spacer.
