Hello community! I use to own a 1993 black LS400 a while ago and I loved it but I got rid of it after it didn't survive a MN winter. I went through a few SC's along the way and after I had my first born and recently buying a house I sold the SC and went idle for a bit. Now I stepped back into the Lexus game but with a LS400 because I need 4 doors with the new son. I just picked up a 1997 LS400 grand pa tan with tan interior. I got a really good deal on it from an older gentleman that babied it and had a novel of records/maintenance. Best thing is no rust and it has 170k miles. That may not sound like a big deal but in MN most LS400's are rusty and over miles. I have no pictures of the LS400 yet but here are pictures of my old SC's I use to own.
My first SC, 1994 Jade Green manual on coilovers and Works.
My second SC, 1992 manual on coilovers and supra TT wheels. You can see my old 1993 LS400 in the back too.
On right my last SC I got rid of, 1997 black on black on coilovers and ESM LM reps
I just picked up some Work Euroline DH's in 19's for the new LS400. Hopefully I can get them on soon but with the new baby and house it'll be a slow build.
Welcome to the LS club. Hopefully will be just as rewarding as your SC travels. Congrats on the house, the new son and the car... but not necessarily in that order.
Picking up tires soon for my wheels. What do you guys think about 215/35 and 235/35 on 19x9 and 19x10? This will be a daily also so just trying to get some input before I pull the trigger.
depends on offset and ride height, those tires should work. i like to go more meaty with a 225/35 up front if offset/height allows.
I want it to be low and flush but I just don't know if those sizes will be too rough. If so I'll have to raise the car a bit and put bigger tires on. Just wondering if anyone daily drives on these tire sizes and how does it feel.
Side note....I see you are from So Cal, I use to live there too. Did you ever go to the ClubLexus meets in the underground parking in Rowland Heights? I had a black/black 97 SC400 back at that time.

Reason: typo
yeah i attended a few friday nite meets at that spot. it's been burned a few times (by cops i mean) already but it still happens.
i daily on 225/35 and 235/35 on my 10/11 with no problem. just don't cheap out on tires. after all they are the only things touching the ground. really depends on your driving style too, though i was able to hang with an M5 on the fwy a few nights back . super dangerous in hindsight as my tires are stretched.
