whats up guys! I made my first post last month when I got my coilovers installed and immediately after that I was faced with my next challenge: finding wheels that "fit". I can't even begin to describe the headache I got trying to find information on this topic because there is next to NOTHING. The only thing i was able to do is look at other peoples wheel and tire specs and wing it based off their "success".

See Wheel Fitment Reference Guide Thread

Hope i could help, and please feel free to correct or add info about this topic on here. now enjoy my pics!!!

My boy Sean does it right!!!! This is how it should be help others out with info. At that he is even very thorough with his info. Thanks to Sean he has helped me confirm that te wheel specs I've planned to go with will work!!! Thanks for all the help man.

The car looks great and happy it worked out. Motivating me for sure.

Nice of you to post this. Actually looking fr a ls430 as my next car and I did not know you'd need R disc to clear the calipers

Regarding #4, there are many larger fitments of aftermarket wheels and tires that don't require any body modifications.

is that plus 24 all around? And what does that effectively come out to since you used a spacer do you add 12 or subtract it?

hate to say it, but you are wrong. their older wheels used the R/A/O disk types. it's actually stamped on the back of my wheel faces. On all their new wheels they use SL, Lo, mid, hi, and s-hi.

yes +24 all around. my 12mm spacer makes the fronts +12 (subtract from offset)

seanbphoto

true. it's just better to expect the unexpected. that way you don't blow the bank on your wheels and find out you need another couple hundred dollars for body work. if you're like me, it sucks buying anything for your car and having to wait to put it on. haha.

While this is a good start, there really isn't enough information here, both in spectrum and depth, to warrant a sticky placement.

This only really applies to those looking to stance their car out, and there's far more to fitment than that. Also, multiple examples of fitment, different diameter/width/offset combos with detailled tire specs and bodywork needed will help a lot.

Good luck!

Those look great man, they really set the car off, ride height and stance are on point man. Well executed...
