Zinik wheels and tires
There is a guy by my house who is selling a set of Zinik chrome rims and General ExclaimUHPZR18 tires for 500.00. with 2500 miles on them. I am wondering if they will fit a 98 Ls400.I do not know what the tire size is but will see him tonight. Also I have been reading this great site and they talk about spacers and H&R Hubcentric spacers, where do I purchase this set if I need them.
Also he said he had these on a 2005 Acura and I checked and these are the 114.3 the same as the Lexus. Any help would be appreciated. Jimbo

agreed with PD about the brake issue. You will likely need to get spacers for all 4 which (to clear your LS400 brakes) and will run at least $120 for a pair so thats $240 for all 4 then you need to install.
So youre not really getting a set of wheels for $500 you are getting a set of wheels for more than $700.
Not to mention the brand itself, not that great. I dont know how well they will hold up on potholes or big bumps on such a heavy car like ours.

Thanks for the help. I did not knoe these wer cheap rims. This is my wifes car and she drives about 3m miles a year so I don;t think she will be hitting many potholes. My real concern is if they would fit. I still don;t understand the spacer issue. Does the spacer bring the rim out away from the calipers. Thanks Jim .Great site
