Default 05 LS430 5 spoke wheels on a 1st Gen LS?

Do you guys think this set up will look odd on a 93 LS? I found a near brand new set for sale. I tried to search the forum for pics but nobody had this set up yet.

think it will look hot

18s/19s are imho the best way to go for 1LS, and the 18" LS430 wheels tend to fit the older models very well

your also going to most likely need an RCA, (search the GS forums for "RCA*") since supposedly one of the tie rod bolts hits the caliper at full lock.

i believe they're 18's could be wrong though...ebay would be alright but try going on craigslist.com in your local area...there's always someone trying to get rid of oem stuff locally

No one exactly knows what the second number indicates. Like my 1999 is a UCF20. If it went by facelifts then mine would be a UCF21. I'm thinking maybe it idicates which plant they made the car in. Because I know that a few people with the A/S option on their 98-00 LS's say there car is listed as a UCF20.

But there is a thread about it somewhere.

18x7.5 +40 or 45 iirc.

best bet is ebay or a local junkyard that doesnt know how much they're worth.
