I'd like to add some nice wheels to my Mercury 2006 ls430. I can't find very many pictures for any ideas on wheels that are slammed and cambered. I don't want to lower it, I don't want to stretch tires, I don't want to try to fit the biggest, hell, id settle on 18,19,20's that are 8-9 inches wide with equal size tires all the way around. I don't need meats on the backs, lol.


Thanks for any help! I'd appreciate pics if you got em! I can't be the only one wanting to do this.

Those are 20x8.5 and 20x10, at stock height. The front rubs on occasion in reverse while turning, but the back is fine. Front is 235, rear is 275.

What's the offset or back spacing in the wheels? Or a brand and style, then maybe I can look it up.

Thanks!

Car looks great!

Looks like Niche brand

That is correct. These are Niche Targa, and the ET is 35 in the front, and 40 in the back. I thought I would hate the way it looks without being lowered, but actually pretty happy with it. If I need to replace my suspension at some point I'll either do OEM sport parts or maybe Tein CS. I think if the wheels were more aggressive looking that it might look silly, but I'm happy for now.

Thank you swegytian! That's the info I was looking for!

I like both of these, I'm leaning towards non directions though. Think the dark color would look good on silver?

I think both colors would look good, but the more you deviate from stock, the more likely it is to look silly not being slammed.

Really like the Niche Verona's.. Share pics when you do get them!

I was planning to do the Niche Verona in 20s on my silver LS. They told me they didn't make the offset I needed though?? I forget the name of the place I was talking to, this was over the phone. I have no idea what size tire or offset I need to run the 20s with a 1-1.5 in drop and not have rubbing.

Looks like they have a +25 and +35 with the 20 x 9, I don't want to run staggered, I'd like to be able to rotate tires, and I don't drive hard enough to need wide back tires.

This is my biggest complaint about this forum. I asked about a fitment for my car a couple weeks ago and I couldn't get a good answer for it, but I sure got some unsolicited advice about lowering it, despite my objections to doing so.

ClubLexus: "I don't know, but you should definitely lower it"

Insedanity

I'm sorry, my previous post may have come across as I was singling you out, apologies if so. I definitely have to give you credit for the above post because it pretty much answered the questions about if my 19x9.5" +40 rears will fit that my thread was about. Thank you.

I don't really want the staggered setup either, just want to be able to lower it without worrying about rubbing. What offset are you planning to go with?
