The paint looks wet and the body is straight as an arrow. You must take good care of your detail guy because he/she did a H--- of a job.

 

My new spacers and new bolts,

 

LOL I do all of my own detailing. I use chemical guys products. Also my car was repainted in August of last year for the last half of show season.

thanks for the compliments.

 

Who makes these?

 

My guess is H&R?

 

I hate to be the one to ask but the amount of info in here is overwhelming. For a slight tuck/flush fitment on a ucf10 what size spacers would you recommend for 19x8.5 et39 / 19x.9.5 et45?

 

On a Ucf10. depending how much camber you want to run. I'd say a 20mm spacer front and 25mm rear with that wheel setup to be mild flush, and a light stretch on tires so you don't rub. May need a small roll but nothing crazy.

 

I have a '98 LS400 with stock 16" wheels. The sides of the wheels have ugly curb rash way up high and I need new tires also.
Since I need to buy tires anyway, what would be a good economic way to upgrade to 17 or 18 inch. Would a used set from a later mode LS be ok to just bolt on with no other mods? Are there wheels from other models to consider?
I would prefer the car to appear as though the wheels came from the factory, just updated a bit perhaps.
Like these perhaps

Would they ride rougher on a '98 compared to a later car?

Thank you for any input.

275/30/19 FK 452 = 9.6" tread width

265/30/19 FK 453 = 9.6" tread width



Looks like these Falken's no longer run narrower and are now on par with other brands in the same size

 

Yeah, I was hoping to get the same sort of stretch with the same tread width but I actually got less. If I bought the 275/30 453s, they would probably have ended up more like a 295/30 fk452. Great tires but you have to go down in size a lot more than you think. Wish I could find some Conti SC3s in these sizes.

 

The bolt pattern on the LS460 (5x120) is different from the LS400 (5x114.3), so the wheels won't quite fit. I would recommend getting the LS430 5-spoke wheels.

 

Thank you Sc0pe. You already saved me some trouble!

 

love this setup!

 

Thanks, I'm looking at getting the wheels relipped 1" wider on the outide on all 4 corners. I should be able to shift the rears to the front and just get a new set of lips for the rear.
