Default Panfilo's 90 LS400

New Lexus owner here!
I've had this car for about a month and its definitely nothing special. Obviously needs some paint and body love, but I got it for cheap and cant complain too much! lol

Megan coils
Boss 338's 18x9.5 -4, 225-40's all around

Still trying to figure out the stupid telephone radio mute braking problem.

Everything will come together slowly.
Hope you enjoy!

Thumbs up To Panfilo...

Hi and welcome to CL!

I really like the fitment of your wheels. They are so tight! I m looking for 18s myself so I can have more meat on my tires for daily instead of my 20s.

Your car is so nice! Keep us posted and keep on modding!

Well done on the stance! I wish I could fit those kind of offsets that easily on my '00. Keep up the good work.

Probably pretty good for what it represents. Not my cup of tea, though.

I have these wheels on my truck too! only the are 20" and a little wider in the rear

Didn't suspect they would work with a LS400. But it doesn't look bad at all. pretty good indeed

And the good part, they're dirt cheap

i have to ask, but did you end up pulling the front fenders a lot? or do you still rub when you turn/brake on the top center portion of the fenders? rear llooks fine, you'll camber in on bumps.

hmm you're right, the pull was done pretty cleanly, rebuilding that body line in the fender must have taken a while. sucks about the door, but he probably had to pull it out a good bit.

probably a 1"+ pull. i'm guessing it was rolled based on how the arch line stayed intact. i still can't figure out why the put one on the front and not the rear though.

i love fender flare, it makes the car look so much more aggressive.
