Default Avid.1 AV50 on the 1992 LS400

Turned out better than we thought. Fronts are perfect fit 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 but the rear needs a hair of camber. We'll either shave the rear or find someone to do a pull for us. Honestly I though they'd rub a whole bunch more. We could drop to a shorter narrower tire as well but we'll play with it.

I usually prefer the stock wheels, but these look real nice. I just hope bumps and ruts in the road don't move them to touch the fenders. Looks like a real nice straight car is it factory original paint?

Looks good. What is the wheel offset? If you decide to lower it, this is looks to be a good fitment just about flush, rear may poke slightly but otherwise it is on.

In the pics the car hadn't settled. After settling the front is perfect with no run at full lock. The tears are another story. It has H&R springs and they are kind of soft but then again it could be the strut itself. We tried the pull technique and got a little but our heat gun crapped out so we are going to get another one. I'm going to research how to get some more camber out of the factory set up. It is only running on the far outer edge at the top of the quarter. The offset is +35 up front +30 in the rear. 18x8.5 in the front 18x9.5 in the rear on a 275/40 out back.

Yes, original paint.
