Hey,

Just got myself a set of Weds Farmas D-Revolts. Sizes:

F: 17x8 +37 on 235/45/17
R: 17x9 +38 on 255/40/17

Gonna run them along with some Megan coilovers pretty much slammed Tell me what you think

ummkay3

they are going to look really small but the wheels look good.

wheels look good but damn those offsets suck

renato902

You think? I tried them on and I think they're going to look really nice with a pretty aggressive drop and 265/40s at the back.

The offsets can be fixed with spacers.. in time What size spacer should I run, 10,15, 20mm?

I saw that pedobear.

Slammed and tall sidewalls will require really stiffening up those coilovers. Make sure to tuck your wire harness away as well.
IMHO 19's are the smallest I like on these cars. I do like the design though.

with flat rolled fenders and natural camber you could run an EASY 20-30mm in the front and 40mm in the rear.....

its not just the offsets that suck, its the width.

Haha lol, I knew someone would spot it eventually

Thanks for the feedback Schnitz. I know it's somewhat uncommon to see our cars with 17s but I think it could look pretty decent. For our Montreal roads, 17s are ideal. I will go for 18s eventually though. I have a friend with a Soarer who just finished installing some Volk GT7s (19x9 and 19x10.5) and he rubbed through his harnesses I know that if I do that when I roll my fenders, it'll save me huge potential headaches.

Hmmm.. I see what you're saying though. Like I said to Schnitz, I know it's an uncommon size for our cars, but with Montreal roads, anything past 18/19 is a bit risky. I think Montreal has potholes big enough to make the moon envious I'll get around to the spacers though Pure, but I bought these rims on the basis that they'd look better than stock for the moment until I get some 18s/19s and airbags. Thanks for the feedback y'all, greatly appreciated

bump.. anyone have alternate opinions about these and how they'd look? do you really think 17s would look bad on my car? anyone know of anyone who runs 17s on an LS (pictures would be great for reference).

I know that the ls430 had stock 17's and they seemed to fit pretty well on that car and the ls430 is a lot bigger than your ls400, i dont know if this helps you or not though

unless your laying frame they are going to look small.


I literally mean laying frame

+1 it's going to have to go LOW to look good otherwise the profile of the sidewall will look way small plus a thicker sidewall will help you out on those rough potholes

renato902

i was thinking of getting thicker sidewalls as well.. i'll see what happens.

i rode similar size/spec 17s temporarly. they didn't look aweful but they didn't look great either.

hmm im thinking theyre kinda small...but wheels do look good
