Finally some pics of my car with rims and tires
I just recently installed these Wald Duchatelet EX rims with Bridgestones RE050A on them. 225/45/19 in fronts and 245/40/19 in rears (Fat Setup).
19x8.5 +30 offset in front and 19x9.5 +35 offset in rears. No rubbing issues and it fits flush. Hope it will clear also after installing the Tanabe Sustec 5 coilovers (on back order). I also installed the chrome tips which I had for over a year and purchased from Amazon.com for about $11 each. The install was kind of easy after a few bending here and there of the inside bracket and perfect once all is adjusted.

Nice Dan. I hope you don't rub after the coilover install. FYI, I rubbed on my fronts afte I installed my 20's. My specs are...
Tein CS coilovers
Junction Produce SS kit
20 x 8.5 front , 20 x 9.5 rear (offset: +40 front, +35 rear)
235/35-20 front, 245/35-20 rear
With the coilovers crank about 1.5-2.0 inches from full bottom it rubbed on hard turns and hard braking on the front. I had to remove my front inner fender lining and cut my inner fender. Hope you don't have trouble with your setup though. If you have questions when you get your Tanabes shoot me a pm.

looks clean man where did you get the exhaust tips from?
I got them from Amazon.com here http://www.amazon.com/3A-Racing-62-1...9730800&sr=8-2 Model number is 3A Racing 62-1106 Performance Exhaust Tip. You need to bend the inside bracket a little to get them installed. You can also get FREE shipping if you spend over $25 in qualified Amazon.com items. I also read that some Pepboys had them for a little cheaper, but I could not find them locally in Hawaii.

Sounds good teamplayer...I'll shoot you you a pm if I run into trouble.
that's nice dan, I wish the exhaust tips were able to be more straight than pointing down.
Yeah...on the 2001 LS430 my exhaust tips curves and points down instead of straight compared to the newer models. Looks okay to me though and I'm happy with the results and cheap price.
Thanks guys....DanozLS430...
