And I know we all have them but I have been looking for some chrome 19's or 20's for my 400. I have found these for a good deal. Any concerns or recommendations?

I was trying to find an LS400 with them but the best I could do is this car. I like the style and the price is right. Not liking the price of 19" tires though.

I like the 5 spoke patterns, I feel they would look good. Chrome...and yeah I didn't want chrome on mine but one cannot buy what wasn't available.

19" rubber is more $. 20" but that depends on your roads and how you drive. That is why I remain on the 18's. Near worry free with the direct sizes at 245/40.

The correct tire size would be 245/40 r19 right? Also, if I do get these I am going to take off my front spacer. Do you think I need to re-align if I remove the spacer?

Edit: Actually, looking at the tire size calculator. 245/45 r19 = .6% too fast is closer in spec compared to 245/40 r19 2.9% = too slow with OEM at 225/65 r16.

I like the chrome look on yours Mike. Chrome on white and black goes together really well.

I'm unclear, what I mean is that the 18" 245/40-18 has enough sidewall to be of sufficient cushion for the usual road bumps. 19" one has to exercise more care and 20" more so. I like the looks of 19 and 20's though.

That is still a conservative fitment and you could see if you prefer it with spacers on or off. You'll need a hub ring for the larger hub bore. No need to need for an alignment.

With the hub ring, do you know what size is needed? I would like to order them and not pay the markup from the shops.

I did go ahead and purchase them. They retail for $435 each. I paid less then that for all 4. I really love Craigslist. I have been searching for a while and these popped up the day I returned from Dallas. Drove over there as fast as I could. Now the search begins for tires. I refuse to pay retail if I don't have to.

You'll need a 60.1 to 64.1 ring. $100.

Just have to call tire shops and see. The shop I buy from has prices equal to or lower than one of the big online shops. The wheels classified has tires so you could post up a WTB and see what comes in. I get a bit cautious buying used tires. There are good deals on low mile tires to be found from guys who don't get the fitment they want.

youo can get hub rings on amazon and ebay for <$20.

Thanks guys. I was looking on Amazon as well as eBay and have been unable to find 64.1 - 60.1 Tones of other sizes but not that one.

Edit: Found a set for $35.00 off JustForWheels.com Not many people have these.

go used tires if you wanna save some money.

Only buy in person and inspect carefully. Lots of people sell used tires that look like they have good tread left, but are severely dry rotted.

i agree! dry rot occurs due to tires sitting outside in the weather. anything climate stored or inside should be fine

i'm very skeptical in buying used tires on low profile wheels. you really need to have a keen eye for them so be careful. all tires have a date code of manufacture so you can tell their age other than appearance.
