Hey Guys,

Just about to pic up my LS430 this coming saturday and I have to go out of town to get it. A guy in the same city is selling a very nice set of refinished BMW Style 95's That I am considering having redrilled. Does anyone have any pics of an LS430 fitted with these at STOCK HEIGHT? I know they look great lowered but unfortunately my budget doesn't allow for coil overs just yet. It would be great to know if they will fit without rubbing either. I don't want to be doing any fender mods what so ever until I decide to lower the car.

They are 19/9 and 19/10 staggered +24 offset. any recommendations for tire sizes would be greatly appreciated as well!

I check the FAQ and to a quick look through the pics thread as well as tried using the search function but come up with nothing.

Thanks!

I think they may look a bit off at OEM height. Personally, I dont like those wheels, the sport wheels or 3GS 5 spoke wheels would look much better. But those specs would fit a stock body pretty easily.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm so iffy about how they are going to look at OEM height.... thats why I want a pic. I feel like it could look great or just look plain off. I searched what wheels you were talking about and come up with several different kinds. Mind sharing a pic or 2?

First pic is the LS430 sport wheels and the 2nd pic is the GS350 wheels.

I think the wheels will look good on the LS430. At stock height it may look funny due to the giant fender gap in the front compared to the front. Even my factory 18 inch wheels looked funny because of how big the gap was up front.

I would still get the wheels if I were you, assuming it's for a good price. You can always get coilovers later.

I knew I had a pic of an LS with those rims. I'll see if I can find it.

As i remember correctly, they looked better on the Lex than the BMW, but i;ll see if i can get the pic for ya

SloLS

Awesome! Thanks King!

Yeah Kira, I am getting them for $1000, refinished very recently with a sparkly gunmetal powder coat. Hes throwing in tires all around too. Really can't complain lol. Just have to find a guy who will drill em. no one in my city does it...

There's also a white one.

Couldn't find it

SloLS

Yeah I have already seen that one :/ I've been looking for one at stock height though as I wont be lowering it for a little while anyway

SloLS

I actually found that one! Very similar wheel so I think I could probably base my decision off that! thanks!

So did you go through with it? I'd love to see how it look!

The BMW wheels will not fit in the front of the LS430 without a spacer. I think you need a 10mm
