Both the front and rear were flared out to fit. before the body work they were sticking out almost 2 inches from the fender, you can actually see how they were sticking out in the link Silos5 posted. Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks for sharing your offset and tire sizes!! I know man, some people can be so greedy about there offset sizes and I don't know why... Why not just help the guy out.. Thanks for helping me find a look that I want to achieve. BTW, what disk are the fronts? I don't know if I wanna get standard or bigger? What would you recommend?

I think most likely you will need high disk for the front in order to clear the caliper. Fronts are hi and rears are low disk in this set.

I'll play with my stock 99 LS...just had my grill painted with body color. I'll probably do some lowering but will keep it mostly stock.

@Socal Vip: Nice wheels

@jimbodncn: Wheels are ok, would've been better with a staggered width setup yeah

Also tried out some 20's, but they are quite big

You want to buy them? I got to much money in them to sell them + we have a higher currency here. At the moment they have cost me €1900 = $2600,-... Yeah I know thats a lot, includes shipping from USA too Netherlands, Had to mount other tires and the wheels have all been to the shop for cosmetics + bends. And everything is just more expensive here. Yesterday I had to fill up the LS, check it out:



(more than $150)

So I think I will keep these AME's for some blinging around I bet no one around here has them

Yeah it's absurd, And I drive about 20k miles a year

But yes, I could do much better than a UCF10 I just like it a lot, special memories

Crappy cell phone pics of both LS' together







At a fellow LS driver, his one has only 60k on it, nearly mint:

Nice stable! I would never get rid of them if I were you either. I'd make furniture out of them if I didn't have a car to put them on.

So ASIA does your governmet suck up all your hard earned money in taxes also? What's your income tax rate? I pay $2.77 US a gallon for premium here in Texas and that with around 0.40 or so in taxes.

Fuel price consists of 70% tax Diesel 60%, propane much less. That's why my truck runs on propane

Income tax ranges from 32 up to 52%, but I don't pay much tax because I buy most on behalf of the company
