LS400 owners post your wheel setup
Hey guys. Posting this all the way from New Zealand. Fairly new to the LS400 scene and having a great time looking through this thread (and others) for ideas for my own ride.
Heres a couple of pics. Forgive the quality as I had to take them with my phone.
She's a 1966 model with 170,000kms. I picked her up for around $US3,500.
Only modification to stance so far is an ASI65X controller which I had to custom wire in myself.
Looking at a set of rims at the moment. I need a little advice about the offset. One of the sets are Speedstar Vienna Kries. The size and offset is listed as
Front: LO 9H114.3, 19x8.5+43D
Back: SL 9H114.3, 19x8.5+30B
Would these be suitable for my car? I dont mind having to run spacers later on down the track but will they hit the strut tower without?

Can I ask you what tells you that? Is it the 'LO 9H' part of the fitment? What size spacers would you think I'd need?
The other set I have my eye on is http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=387632569

LO as in low disk will not clear ucf20 calipers. For SSR wheels, as with most multipiece wheels, you would need HI or in other words high disk to clear the calipers. With that width and offset your wheels will be really sunken in, if that concerns you.
BTW, SL is super low disk which has even less back pad then LO disk but in turn will have a bigger lip.

So in relation to width and offset the second set would be better to go for?
I found the details for them on their website
SIZE RIM HOLES P.C.D OFFSET HUB
19ｘ9.0JJ 56 5H 114.3 +35 60
I would take from those stats that the disk is 60mm deep meaning their should be plenty of clearance. Would that be correct?

I need some spikes like that too or perhaps a motion sensor with recessed BB guns in the grill. I just had my front end and rear trunk lid and bumper painted and dont want to see anyone with there junky car come close even.
junky cars drive carefully since people either cant afford to fix them or cant afford to fix mine and know i'll sue.
