Quote: the tires that came with the wheels are 245/40/18 is that gonna be too big?
use the link but it should be fine as the outter diameter is smaller than stock. be careful bc it's smaller the speedo will read faster than what you are actually doing.

Thanks. I wasn't sure how they would look on the LS but anything is better than those ugly stockies lol. The wheels are Savini SV9, 3-piece, 20x9, 20x10.5. Not sure of the offsets but they were fairly conservative on my GS so I would have to guess between +35 to +42 range.

question for any of you guys. I have a few sets of wheels that I have/had on my 89 supra and on other cars. None of them clear the brakes or fit right. I put my mk4 supra turbo's on it for now but it just doesn't look right.

What should I look for when looking at another set of wheels? the other two were a +40 offset but neither cleared.

You should make sure they are high disc at the very least. There's a better chance they clear the second gen brakes.

wheel spacers
so i'll be getting my h&r springs soon and the only other thing (aesthetically at least) is to get the wheels more flush to the outside of the car. i was either gonna get 15 or 20 mm, does anyone know if 20 would be too much? i don't want to roll the fenders

Depends how flush you want. 15mm on the front with the OEM 18's is fine. The rears 5-10mm more. Since tire sidewall profiles vary a bit, I'd suggest measuring it once the springs are on the car to verify how much spacer you feel appropriate with.

Not yet, too swamped to bring in another project. I still have my SC, but trying to get rid of it to maybe fill in the spot with another one. Nothing gets done when you have 3 project cars LOL.
