I've got sc430s on my 97 with 15mm spacers and everything clears perfectly. The offset with these spaces is about flush with the fenders.

Using 235/45/18 tires, I think it's just the right look for it not too chunky of a tire but not stretched either. Speedometer is dead on, not even 1mph off when checking with GPS and those radar speed signs.

So I'm new. Let me get it straight. Just bought a real nice 94 LS400. I can get a good deal on 03 lexus 430 rims and tires in good shape for 300.00 or less. will 10mm front and back look good. i don't want to be unsafe so will the lug nuts from the 400 be long enough and safe. Thanks for any help an advice.

Missed this. When adding spacers, you'll want to get longer wheel studs installed too. If using adapters, those won't pose an issue in that regard because those have the studs built in.

Thanks for the sound advise. 10mm adapters in the front and from what the forum seems to advise is 15 or 20's in the rear?

My first suggestion would be to mount them in stock form and measure out where you want them. 10mm front, 15-20mm rear is common.

Billy's car is with the 430 wheels. I like that look.
