New owner but long time lurker. Grabbed this 2000 UCF20 last week. Just doing a 1" drop, tint, exhaust, etc. This is 18x8 +35 with a 5mm spacer to clear brakes with 245/45r18 and 18x9 +32 with 275/40r18. Thought it actually looked pretty decent on stock suspension with those fat tires and wanted to post it up. I think the key to running 18's on the ucf20 is spokes that come all the way to the edge and fat tires.

No, this is bone stock with just the wheels/tires.

Just picked this car up but not a big fan of the wheels.
Forte wheels 20x8.5 with 255/35r20 tires. I think its stock suspension but not 100% sure. I want to get some sc430 stock wheels instead

Anyone ever ran Vossen 083's? I'm eyeing a set, but unsure if they'll fit. Specs below:

Brand: Vossen 083
Size: 19x10
Offset: 38

Motaw,
Depending on tire size and ride height they should fit.
Are you lowered? What size tire would you wrap them in?

CarGroves,
That looks great! Looks like you kept a decent tire sidewall so I bet it still rides nice. 1 inch drop will change the ride quality slightly, but will look even better for sure! Keep us posted.

Currently stock, thinking 225/40 in the front, 245/40 in the back.

Hello, would these clear the front brakes?

ESR (work equip reps)
19x9.5 + 35
19x10.5 + 22

what's a good tire size to run on these?

245\45\18 is identical in overall diameter to the stock 225\60\16 so your speedometer will be accurate. Just an FYI

If you're going to go with a staggered setup, you should go with something extreme out back. 275 would be nice

Wow, I love these wheels! I've got a 1998 LS400, and I want to order the same 18x8.5 +35 Avid1 AV06 wheels all around my car if they fit. The owner says that no body work was necessary, and he doesn't mention any spacers either. I'll be going with 225 on all. If these wheels drop in on his 1st Gen, will they also work without any mods on my 2nd Gen? Are the infamous front brake calipers the same on these cars? Any help is greatly appreciated.

The front calipers are a fitment issue on the 95-00 years. All depends on the spoke clearance so offset does not translate into caliper clearance.

My suggestion would be to call them:

Default Need help finding 98-00 LS wheel specs for 20x10 or 10.5

I saw one on some Vossen CVT's and now I can't find it again to see the specs. He had either 20x10 or 20x10.5 square setup (if I remember correctly). The most aggressive I've seen is 20x10 +18, on the fitment industries sight.

I'm trying to find out the widest and lowest offset wheel I can run with just a roll and pull.

If anyone can point me back to that post or if u have the info with pics (if possible), I'd appreciate it.




Thanks in advance!
