Question. Are they the stock acura wheels? or were they just mounted on an acura? If not stock, what are they? I'm just curious, I'm not super knowledgeable on spacing and such.

20s though...mmmm

Congratulations on your newly acquired LS

Should fit without any problem using the correct tire. But it ain't going to give you the sought after VIP look.

You can get those wheels to fit nicely but they will be FAR FAR FAR from VIP.

O okay, yah its just that i'm getting a really good deal on the rims. i guess i'll just keep looking. I had put 18inch OEM SC430 plate rims on it previously and they seem too small because the car is so big. i'll search for some 19's then. Thanks all!!!

The majority of LS1 owners have opted for 19's

Something like 9J +32 on front and 10J +45 in the rear should fit without any problem on a straight aligned vehicle. Using negative camber/tire stretch/ fender cut/roll/pull you can use much more negative offsets
