majority of ppl will say that 22s r way to big for that car and that u shouldnt go go any bigger than 20s. but its entirely up to, its ur car. i had 22s on my 94 Ls when i was into the whole dub scene and loved it.

heres a pic of my car on stock sus


and heres a pic of the car with coils on

I think either 19" wheels or 20" wheels would be perfect with a real good drop on coilovers. I'll post some pix later.

now thats 22's lowered did you have to modify anything such as fenders or quarters... and what kind of coilovers did you use... and tire size ... thank you

orangeteg

did it rub at all when lowered or even when stock height ... i like that car tho man very nice

-cut fenders all around and a lil pull up front
-im on megan coils
-and the tires were 245/30 all around
- i rubbed at full lock and on dips, both on megans caz of the ride hight and on stock sus caz they were blown lol

orangeteg

did you have to cut after you lowered it or did the fenders need cutting on the stock suspension as well... see i dont really wanna cut anything would 22's work without cutting if i just left it at stock height

nope u wont be able to get away without any fender mods. if u leave it at stock height u could get away with just rolling the fenders, but u will eat the tires up if u dont do anything to the fenders.

orangeteg

no problem... thank you... now how difficult is it to do the fender mods is it a do it yourself or body shop only....

i shaved my feners myself, wasnt difficult. u can rent a fender roller for about $40 with like a $150 deposit. u can buy the fender roller for a lil over $200, iv heard that u can use a baseball bat to roll them but iv never seen it done, u can youtube it if u like. if u take the time u can lightly hammer the fender lip up.

if ur interested in buyin some 22s i have a set 4sale

You want to go through every page in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...eel-setup.html
And maybe even this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ed-ls400s.html
And finally this one: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...of-ur-car.html

Then come back and let us know your preference. I personally believe your thoughts of 22's will disappear.

orangeteg

damn schnitz.... you were right... what 22's...lol... im loving the way they look on 19's lowered ... i want to keep it simple and im not about all the camber and stuff so i may just do 19's or 20's and just lower the car a bit...
thanks tho very nice pics and it helped a lot

IMO not tryin to hate on anyone on this forum but enless your in to the "dub" seen 22's let alone 21's should never touch a ls why make your car go up in height rather than drop?? 19's with coils or bags looks amazing even in stock form very eye appealing, maby a lil bit of tuck and your set
