Default Pictures of 20's on the LS400

So, I have a chance to pick up a nice set of MRR HR3's for a really good price.

Only problem is, they are 20x8.5.

Anyone have pictures of a UCF10 dumped on a set of 20's. I'd like to have these things somewhat tucked, but I'm having second thoughts.

Thanks guys.

ehh, imho unless you're kitted 20's on a first gen are too big, and look out of proportion.

what's the offset, that's pretty narrow especially if they arent staggered.

I agree with you 100% PD, as those were my first concerns.

I could be wrong, but I remember him saying they were all 20x8.5 but was unsure, so I guess there is still a tiny possibility that they could be staggered...

This might be a wheel that I buy and flip, I'm still unsure.

keep in mind, the MRR wheels were and have been on heavily discounted sales so the resale might not be what you think unless you're getting a ridiculous deal.

He has since sold this car, I believe, and now has an SC. 18's would look alot better on the first gen. Even Griffen agreed, was having some small rubbing problems and stuff. LP_Yang had the same wheels on his car in 18's,,,




Don't know if he still has his LS anymore, I remember him trying to sell it.

i think they look too big on a 1LS. even if the car is lowered, it's too high off the ground because of the size of wheel and tire.

now that one doesn't look too high because of your kit. also the wheels don't look too big because they have lips.

doesnt look that bad.. 20x9.5 with the lowest offset they offer for that concaved look... rims belong now to a friend of mine that lives up my block, he also has a ucf11. these rims came off a white ucf20, full junction produce bodykit, bagged, etc.....






friends LS it came off of... 20's look better on 95-00 LS400... 19's for 90-94

As long as your dumped low enough, you can pull off the 20s. I'd suggest the Diamond Cut HR3s over the chrome. Chrome HR3s in dubs is waaayyyy to much bring bring.
