Default New rims for the LS

Maya (TrafficStar) RT5
20x9 +30 fronts 245/35/20
20x10 (unknown offset rears) 285/30/20

Will be getting a new pair of rear tires in the same size (they're purchased waiting on shipment)

Doing regular cleaning to them for now then eventually going to get them professionally refinished


Still in process of cleaning the wheels:





Test fitting (new rear tires on the way, same size)
245/35/20 fronts on 20x9 285/30/20 rears on 20x10:










Rear:





Compressed rear to see how much it'd have to be pulled:






Let me know what you think.

What year is your LS? In what condition are your stock wheels? What will you do with them?

my stockers now have 225/55/16 dunlop winter m3 sport snow tires on them

I'm going to be rolling and pulling the rear fenders a bit to fit the rears.

Currently riding on tokico blues with tanabe df210 springs. Eventually likely saving up for bags on coils or a similar design such as Airforce.

was never a fan of those wheels since they look very sporty and you can basically see right thru them. But good choice in brand.

yeah, i have to agree....not a huge fan of being able to see so much thru them.....but if you like 'em, that's what matters.
