Default New Wheels & Brakes.. 19" Volk LE37 and LS400 BBK Installed - pics inside :)

Just installed a set of wheels.. here are the specs:

Volk Racing LE37

19x8.5 (+29); 235-35-19 front
19x9.5 (+34); 275-30-19 rear

It seems like the rear could be pushed out a hair further, so I also purchased a set of 5mm spacers for the rear (they'll arrive in a couple days)... still debating whether or not I should install these. With these installed, the front and rear will be at a +29 offset.

I'm really pleased with the fitment and outcome, no rubbing issues of any kind. The car is currently sitting on Supra KYB Struts, along with Supra Eibach springs.. which means it's a 1.9" drop up front, and a 1.6" in the back.













I'll be receiving my Lexus LS400 brake kit tommorrow (cross drilled/slotted rotors, polished calipers, new OEM pads), and my Vertex front lip should arrive within the next couple weeks. I'll update the thread with more pics ASAP

These have been my favorite wheels ever- and I finally got a set Let me know what u guys think- all comments/suggestions are appreciated

-Allen

Front Wheel:



Rear Wheel:


On a side note- all 4 fenders have been rolled.

What do you guys think of the ride height... should it be lowered more, or should I leave it as-is?

Love the look, very clean and tasteful..Paint looks very glossy as well, great job!

Edit: Did you do any fender modding with these?..Looks like with those offsets, it might rub over bumps..

I loved the old setup as well.

I had TE37's on my SC and I didn't really like it. Very rigid design with sharp angles on a car that has a lot of flowing lines.
