Default What do you think of these wheels.

I'm think of putting these on my LS 400 19 X 8.5 Privat by Konig $210 each.
Also what size tires? I was thinking 245 40 19 BF Goodrich G-force wth the new tread design.

What to you think? Thanks

make sure to test fit since ur going to likely need either spacers in the front or a High Disk wheel to clear your brakes.

I like mesh...that is one of the designs I'm debating on. Make sure these clear the brake calipers!

If you are thinking the BFG KDW-2, it is a fantasic performing tire with good tread wear. It is quite loud and uncharacteristic for an LS. I have 20K on mine now and next round, will get something quieter.

The Lex is 2000 LS 400.. The tire shop said if they don't clear the calipers they will refund my money.. I'll let you know when I do it.. They stated no problem.. On the website it stated it will clear.. I think I'm gonna go with the BFG G force because the tread last longer on most with those tires?? I hope they are not too loud...

Those are a new design from privat called the netz and the do look nice. They are silver with a stainless steal lip (much like chrome). The only problem is, they don't clear, the spokes of the wheel doesn't curve enough to clear your caliper. You will need to run spacers and a rather large ones. Another nice alternative is the MRR GT1, staggered of course, with a 4" rear lip.

Killer wheels! They'll look fantastic on your ride. I have 15k miles on my Nitto 555 tires and they have been reliable.

Did you have to run spacers? Since I have a 2000 I think my front brakes are larger? I'm not sure.

No spacers for me. My rims cleared the front calipers. I did have to modify my fenders due to the really wide tire/rim combo though. Post a pic of your ride with your mesh rims - it will look fantastic.

I don't run spacers on mine - fit like a glove.
