Paint shredding off the wheel well lips isn't good either. At some point you just have to weigh the cost of ruining your car vs looking cool.

I actually hit a rock in the road haha. The fender isn't doing anything to the tire yet. And I'm about to switch that to a 215/35 instead of that 235/40 so I won't rub at all

19x8.5 +12 25mm spacer
19x9.5 +28 25mm spacer

Rolled rears, no rub.
Front rolled and slight pull, still need work to not rub. Needs bigger pull/flare.

Are those offset listed after the spacer or before?

1991 LS400
Wheels are 17X10/11 -25
235/40 Toyo R1R up front and 245/40 Kenda radial out back
Stock control arms and Fortune Auto 500 Coilovers with 20k/18k swift springs
No upper control arm slapping and no holes cut
30mm RCAs
945Garage LS400 wide body

The front and rear are super tight, I had to run a small spacer up front to clear the UCF20 brakes so I need a slightly smaller tire to not rub up front - or some adjustable upper control arms.

The rear rubs on big bumps, but nothing crazy.

I'm not a fan of prefacing a compliment with a negative phrase, but your car is SICK. I mean, that is the best looking LS I have seen yet. Also, when can I get my **** ring back?

Haha yeah, I wish I could lower it more to tuck more tire up front but the front lip is basically on the ground as it is.

Default Looking for info on this set up

Rears 18x9.5 with 275/40/18

I got the rims new for $421 and the tires were $400

The car is lowered on H&R springs with KYB struts. I cut the rear coils a little bit to give it the stance I wanted.
I have been cutting coil springs for 20 years on my Chevelles and other cars. No problems ever.





We just bought wheels, the same size front and back. I wanted to know if with the sizes if there are any rubbing issues in the front or rear. We want a little shorter sidewall in the front but the rear is perfect. Thanks.
