20's, do they have to be specifically designed for the LS?
Haven't seen this question anywhere on the board, but if I want to get 20's on my ls, are there specific wheels ONLY for the ls? Or can I go with Asanti's or Aicona's?
And on a side note, how much will I be able to lower my car if I do get 20's?
My bad about not saying this earleir but I'm talking about a 1990 LS.

There is a 45 offset from factory.
Not sure if there are wheels other than OEM that are designed SPECIFICALLY for the Lexus. Most people don't buy 'Lexus LS 400' wheels if you know what I mean. With fender rolling, and spacers there is generally no problem on fitting them. So I would shop for what you like not trying to find factory replacements.. Isn't going to happen.
Unless, you go with a larger OEM wheel -- which doesn't reach 20.
There are many people who have wheels and lowered their vehicles, you'll get alot of answers about how far you can go, and the best steps.
I would guess you can lower at least 1.5-2.5inches. But someone will chime in with the exactness of a First Generation LS 400 with 20" Rims.

lol sony..
I don't like the huge rims on any car - but I've seen them at 20 done very well,..
I prefer maximum 18" or so. That still falls into the realm of 'OEM' but on the edge of what a factory offering could be.
That still fits the car, and doesn't seem outrageous.
But with rim size I am considered conservative compared to most.

Sure a lot of people here won't like 20"'s on 1Gen LSs. Understandable though... we have a wide range of ages and tastes on the board... I like them though. If you like 20's, throw 'em on there. Mine are +35 all around

with a 90, you'll be able to fit just about anything you want. the bolt pattern is a very commone one, almost every wheel is made with the 5x114.3 bp.
imo, 20's are too big. even if you lower the car, it's still too high. 18's or 19's look great on the early cars, look at some pics around here...
