These are not the bbs that comes on the camry , its made by Rial and the camry wheel doesn't have a lip this wide , but I don't know if anyone has a pic or info on it . I even show it to the lexus dealer and they said they never seen it before .

I just saw these wheels yesterday on a 1st generation LS. I think this was a OEM Lexus wheel

benzo u have the fenders rolled..pulled or what? if so u have the dreaded dimples in the front fenders? I want to work towards getting a more flush look..but I don't want the trade off of the dimples as they take away from the look of the car

nothing done. fender liners are still in...side fitment is pretty weak
i have the 19x8.5 fronts but the tires they came with are too big so i threw my IS wheels up front
front offset is like 50 and rear offset is 45 so i still have perfect virgin fenders
ill be shaving them whenever i get the next setup if i can decide on 18s or 19s
looks good from the side/rolling though! just not flush enough for me from other angles

well its been quite a while since being on here (previously bought my Sportcross from a member on here), but after going through the 86 pages, still hasn't answered my question. looking at a 94 LS, but wanting to fit a 20x9 and 20x11 +13. I understand theres some rolling/pulling involved, but would that setup fit? any info is very helpful. thanks guys.

not well, no. Not without a big pull and/or radius.

on a '95+ it would fit with mild work.

I kinda though that. I dont mind pulling and trimming, and im not sure how much camber i can get out of the stock arms. My other setup would be an 18x10.25 +20 on the rear and 18x9 +20mph up front which seems a bit easier to fit.

if it was a second gen then it wouldn't be so bad, 20s are really big for a 1st gen to pull off, especially with so much width.

those 18s are probably a better choice i think
