LS rims and tire question
Hi,
I'm looking on buying the rims that are taken out from SC430. the rims come with brand new Bridgestone Turanza 235/45 WR18. i checked the tirerack.com and they recommend 235/50 - 18 instead. so i'm wondering if it would be alright to put 235/45 on my 95' LS. will it have any affect on the speed odometer or the look??

235 45 18 will cause more fender gap if u not going to lower ur LS,
235 50 18 = more comfort and less noise,
I brought the sc430 rims just can't fit on my 98 LS400 due to the caliper clearance, I don't know 95 have the same caliper size with the 98, but I recommend u to get a test fit, u can get the tyres from tirerack, I just cancel the order of the bfgoodrich tyres, 235-50-18 and only cost 94 a piece... WR speed rate,
the rims look more elegant on the LS series.... but I just got no luck with it....
235 50 18 = more comfort and less noise,

I tried with the spacer but once I put them on there is only a little space with the stud which the lugnut is not fully tighen with the stud.. so it's not even safe so I just forget it.
In addition. I also tried the hub adapter but the rim just look wierd from the front..
However,, thankx u guys.

GSs are played out in our area, LSs are more rare.
