Default Max/Min Wheel Offset (ET)-04 LS

Does anybody know the max / min allowed wheel offset for the 04 ls430? I'm thinking of buying 35mm when the OEM specs seem to require 45mm on 7.5 widths(i'm thinking of buying 8 Front and 9 Rear).

don't buy wheels with a 35 mm offset. I bought four 20x8.5 Kaotic wheels for my 2001 and their offset is 34mm. I have a lot of tire noise in the front only in tight turns and there is a little steering kickback. No problem with the rears. A little change in offset like that really plays with the front suspension feel. I will actually be looking to replace the wheels soon with a staggered setup with the proper offset in the front, 43-45mm. Not to mention, I had to grind the outside of the front calipers to clear the inside of the wheels because they were not "high disk" wheels. I'm also getting a suspension clunk when I go over a speed bump, I don't know if that has anything to do with the wheels wearing out the suspension parts prematurely. Stick with the proper offset.

Make sure you get a high disc wheel and you will be fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The problem noted from shrabber is because the giovanna wheel is not a high disc wheel..........

Take a guess at how many people have JDM wheels here............ Just because you cannot walk into 7-11 and get them, doesn't mean they cannot be had in the US.

And many of the CL members cars look as good, if not better then some of the mags.

I didn’t say they are cheap, they are just not my style. Also, they are not a perfect fit as you noted, since in several threads you were “warning” people about your caliper scraping the rim because you didn’t get a high disk wheel.

If you like how your car looks, that is all that matters.
