Default My LS... pictures inside.

I recently picked up this 95 LS400:



My plans for it... Infiniti FX 20" wheels:



What do you guys think? The stock wheel is 16x7 with a +45 offset. These are 20x8 with a +40 offset. I think they should clear the calipers, no?

Welcome to CL - looks like a clean LS - I did not know the bolt pattern was the same for the Infiniti wheels - interesting look - If they are they just might clear the front calipers. Let us know if they do.

Good point without springs it will look like a Hummer. Some of the stock LS gaps are 3 to 4"

Congrats on your LS and welcome to Club Lexus!

...I agree with everyone else...the wheels looks good, but you're definitely going to have to drop it.

Welcome to CL. The wheels look nice...my suspicion is the wheels won't clear the front calipers.

Nissan is also 5x 1.14 bolt pattern with a center bore of 66.1 unlike our which is Toyota's 60.1 so you will need hub-centric rings .
The G35 rims will clear our calipers but i have no clue for the FX as it does not have a brembo option.

only issue would be brake clearance (that should be ur biggest worry) and making sure the offset works, its rather conservative though so there shouldnt be too many issues.

oh, and he obviously p-chopped his car lower as well, look at the top right hand corner of each image.

Thanks for the comments.

Just to verify, my car is Black Onyx Pearl, correct? The only reason I ask is because it is not a true black, more like a very dark charcoal. Were there any other colors that resembled black in 95?

Yup Black Onyx was it I am sure - A colleague of mine drives your same car with the same paint. It looks black until you get closer and then you see the metallic elements - nice color. Mine is the straight black.
