Those wheels were on an LS430 , right?
They look real nice as a wheel just not feeling it for an LS.

yes the ls400 belongs to me. thats the funny thing. it doesnt seem drop. but it is lol. i have bilstein shocks with tanabe DF210 springs. which is suppose to drop my back 1.5inch and 1.7 in the front. :sigh:

so im thinking of doing the same as steveski and change the perch on my shocks. i dont have time at the shop yet since im back in school. we are going to try to get the back covering up the tire a little bit. have the front stick out a little bit so i can turn.

these wheels did not come off a ls430. it actually came off a gs430 my friend traded in. i havent really seen anyone try to sell symbolic wheels on the forum. might be another brand with similiar faces and lip size. i like being different hehe. long way to go with this car. just a very slow slow slow project.

Wow that is weird the Tanabe DF210's didn't drop the car more than that. I have seen others with the same set up and they look real low. I have 40's on mine with 18's and there is less than 1 finger gap all around. I believe if you drop to lowest perch you should see between 1/2" and 1" additional drop though. The only thing I don't like is how it makes it drive - makes it softer since springs are not compressed as much on the lowest perch. I can live with that since it looks better lower though

yes i knoe im suprised too. that the tanabe DF210 didnt drop my car more. when i first put them on i was like dang they high. but they pretty much stuck at where they are. its okay if it gets softer i wont be really drivin my car that fast anymore with the new wheels . i still gota play with the spacers i got 15mm in the front. they seem to wide, so i have to order some 10mm blahhh.
