I've actually been here since 2014 when I was helping my daughter fix and upgrade her 97 LS400. She ended up giving me the car so I bought some H&R springs back then from AtlasLS400 (don't know if he's still here) in Jacksonville and had them installed when replacing a bad strut. Purchased some 17" IS250 wheels and new tires which will be on soon. I went ahead and had the ECM rebuilt after reading about all the issues with them. The radio lights are out but I have another stock radio to swap before I send it off for repair. Great information on that here. Anyway, a few more details and this car should be looking good! Love this site for all the help and DIY tutorials.

Looking again I think these are IS350 wheels. I'm going to double-check to be sure they clear the brakes. The paint is Moonstone Pearl (6N0) which is a beautiful light grayish-green. Pictures coming tomorrow!

'97 LS400 Moonstone Pearl with stock wheels

If it looks a bit strange that's because the new wheels are not actually on the car but just rolled up beside the stock wheels for comparison.
