Ls430 tires and suspension questions?
20x9 in front and 20x10 in rear
what size tires are you guys running on 01 ls430 ul?
My local discount tire is not sure what will fit
staggered they are guessing 245/35/20 fronts 265/30/20 rears
i am taking a real hard look at the michelin pilot a/s plus
i am here in seattle and i need a try that will do well with the rain and i do lots of driving. Any other recommendations on tire brands and sizes?
Also curious what i can do to get the best 1 to 1.5 drop
weather to use coil overs or springs not sure what i can do with the air bag set up other then the data controller which in the past i had trouble with still looking for that factory comfort. Camber kits do i need them for the rear or at all? All opinions greatly appreciated and thank you in advance

The offset of the wheels will ultimately determine what size tire will fit but the common size is 245x35x20 front and 275x30x20 rear unless u have a really aggressive off set then u may need to stretch the tire some. Also may need to roll or shave the rear fenders. If u have air susp the only lowering options are the datasystems controller and the ss kit pretty much. But the controller is a much cheaper mod than the ss kit.
Do u want more camber or less camber. Negative camber is what makes the tires lean in on top when the car is lowered a lot which may look cool but will really eat ur tires up on the inside tread if u drive a lot. I wanted to take away some of my negative camber so I got shorter rear arms. U shouldn't need to increase camber unless u r really going with some aggressive offsets (like 4.5 - 5" + lips) other than that just a fender roll should be good.
Now if someone could just answer my other question about if a 275x30x20 fits will a 265x35x20 fit . ???

I don't reccomend this option ^ ^ ^ to adjust the front height sensor rods. Especially if u don't feel comfortable with the datasystems controller,, u would just open a world of complaints and un even height issues if u did it yourself and didn't know what u were getting into ahead of time,, not saying it can't be done just that u need to make sure u know exactly what u r getting into.
