I forgot that you are on air. It'll be easier for you then. But what I meant was with the car being so low and the flushed fitment, there will be scraping and rubbing. IvtectypeS stance is flawless. But I'm sure he rubs and scrapes. Just got to be careful and you can't really drive fast in a car like that. None of those reasons stopped me from slamming my LS400. Even though it was a simple and plain set up, I broke a few necks. Lol

I'm a sucker for the 98-00 LS400.

Mines are Leon hardiritt Ritters on 255/35 on 19x11

So sad that I sold it! Dumb move

Yeah I think they match the big body better than the 7 spoke iforged wheels even though my buddy is selling those things for an amazing price I really want the deep concave in the back but worried about the offset, width and tire size...i would not want to go lower than a 255/35 on a 10.5 inch rim as it is a daily but also dont want it sounding like a pos scraping and rubbing with every bump.... I could easily get the concave and go less aggressive offset, probably to the point where i wouldnt even have to shave the fenders but man, i really want the deep concave!

A car like that and wheels like that, you have to be, at least, flushed. I wouldn't go the conservative route, it would look a little funny and you will end up regretting it.

I agree. LS are big cars and I think the full face wheel design go with it well. 7 spoke design looks too sporty. That's just my opinion. I guess we think alike.

So basically the 20x10.5 et25 with a 255/35r20 and a prayer or 20x10.5 et35 and a wider tire like a 275/30r20? btw i am not looking to slam it, just get rid of the wheel gap

I really like those vp3 wheels. A few years ago they made the hr3 and I've seen a lot of them for sale with cracks. A buddy of mines had 6 of them, all was cracked. Not sure if it was his driving habit or what but....I hope their quality has improved.

Once I corrected the caster in the rear to re-center the wheel, I had no issues with rubbing. Scrapes...just depended on the how big/steep the dips were
