Sweet! Got new rims on. Pics
Alright, got my baby back from the dealership, did the 90,000 mile service, got the new rims and tires put on. 95 btw
Rims are the new G-Spider 18' rims with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. Amazing tires btw.

And After Pics:
What do you think? I know i COULD lower it an inch or so but i dont have the 5 hundred or 1000 bucks for that.

I agree with the others; the wheels look just right on the LS. First time I've seen in mesh style on that particular model, and they totally fit well with the black paint as well
I wouldn't worry about lowering the suspension, to be honest with you. The LS is not a performance or sports car, it's meant to look good, and those wheels are the proof in the pudding
If I were to change something on your car right now, I'd say please kindly remove the Lexus front plate. It's a bit redundant to show off the Lexus brand from the front, if you know what I mean

Hey thanks guys for the compliments.
My dad bought this car after a 3 year lease at an auction. And since then, its always been kept in the garage.

Props.
Gunthaa you car looks great! I have a Black 95 as well. The rims look awesome on your car and with that style the 18's look like the perfect size. They look the exact same size as my 20's because the spokes go all the way to the lip. What size tires are on them and how much did you pay for the rims?

Hah, thanks caffeine!
Yea, i agree the 18's look perfect. Bigger than stock, and the ride difference is almost negligible. Plus these tires stick like nothing else. I didnt want a lip either, never been a fan, they always look smaller than they really are too. Hmm, the rims i got from my lexus dealership after finding them on a sewell lexus webpage. They got me them for under 900 bucks but those tires were over 1000. The tire size is just 245/45/18 all around. Which is pretty wide in the back. No staggered or anything, this aint no racecar!

Hmm, they work for me, try copying and pasting the URL in your browser.
The dealership was Hendrick Lexus in Charlotte. They were great. My seatbelts needed replacing and they did that for free, which is like a 500 dollar value. Id recommend them
