im getting out of HS soon and going to get some nice chrome or black rims and im wondering what is a good size to have with no rubbing and i want a nice size lip too

Nano-V8

yeah. i too wonder what is the ideal or good size of wheel and offset to get a vip look on the 1LS ther the lip is really close to the fender but does not hit and the fatttest lip possible, with the widest tires possible. pretty much pushing all the limits ha :-)

aggressive 19s are what you want.

Nano, you arent going to be pushing any limits unless your Slammed and shaved/rolled (fenders...)....

id say a decent setup would be 19x9 +25 s-low and 19x10 +20 s-low without being overly extreme. not the "best" setup but unless you wanna pull the fenders thats prolly the most you could fit on a 1st gen.

thanks for the info, i want to drop my car, but not now and it wont be for quite a wile.now i have to look for a nice set and im very picky but some type of 5spoke is a must

19psi

dont' get 20's. they look like crap unless they are seriously perfect in fitment, which no off the shelf 20" wheel is, adn your are dropped. 19's work well, but pay attention to hte width and offset. puredrifter is right on with the specs, get something just like that and you'll be happy.

Nano-V8

cool thnx. well i have a 2inch drop right now and im looking to get bagged soon. im on chrome supra tt wheels right now. but those are only 17s ha. but yeah i was thinking 19s too. ive seen 20s on LS and look horrible. thnx.

be specific, 20s on a FIRST gen look bad 95% of the time

gdave

thanks for the info i know 20's look like sh%t and are to big im on 2nd gen gs 17's their nice but not what i want anymore i figured 19's and i wanna drop but whats the sacrifice as far as ride quality being that i have stock air suspension, is it really a pain in the *** to make the switch and ive heard leave this job to the pros for sure so im not going to try this on my own by any means anyone have a quality name that they can recomend with a not so steep price

19's man, the only way to roll on a 1LS.

Mine are 10.5 in the rear with a 38+ offset (I think, its close anyways) No spacers and they dont rub with just a rolled fender:



And 19's for size ref: (lowered on Tanabe springs):



Edit: I just noticed those pics make it look way higher than it is, they have settled alot since then, I tuck alittle tire now. Ohh and excuse the crappy bodywork, need to finish my showtruck before this gets paint!

Nano-V8

nice spotty. thats a nice stance. nice wheel set up too.

I second that

If you want an aggressive stance, get some 19s. They do look alot cleaner than 18s or 20s

I personally have 18s because it handls a little bit sportier while maintainin it's ride quaulity and i dont worry about pot holes if i accidentally hit one or am forced into one.

I know I'm totally in the minority here, but I do like some 1Gens with 20's I don't think mine are too blingy, but compared to most of the rims on this site, they would be considered as such, and I'm cool with that.

I have had 20s on all my cars (for the past few years), and even 24's on my truck, and never bent any of the them, even hittin potholes pretty bad. You gotta keep your air pressure in check constantly. The only rims I bent were 19's on my LS, thanks to the younger bro hittin a curb going 20-25 while taking out his girfriend on a date

If I was going to slam my car, I would definitely go back to 19s, but since I am not plannin on slammin it I decided to stick with 20's.

thanks for the pics SPOTTY and very nice it does look a little high but you sa it has come down and prob looks great as it does in the pics,Iansaltes thank you for the info because this will be nice chunk of change for me and the last thing i want is to bend them,dont worry your 20's look great and by no means flashy
