Default Rims on a 91 LS400.

I'm trying to get some 20'' rims for my ls400 this coming up next week.

I was thinking about getting those, but I wasnt to sure what exactly fits a 91 ls400. The guy said the rims were 20x8.5, offset is 18+ , any clue if it would fit my car?

i think it might poke...but those wheels dont fit the body style of the LS anyway.

they will definitely poke quite a bit unless you SLAM the car, even then you're looking at some serious fender rolling and pulling.

They are a little tunerish for my taste.

do you plan on lowering the car at all? if not, look for something staggered, like 9" front and 10" rear with about a +35 offset. that's a very conservative fitment for a non lowered car which should be almost flush with your fenders. any more offset and they'll look all sunken in (gay) and less and yo'll be rolling your fenders.

I'm also looking for new wheels for my LS and am a bit confused on the offset.

so a +35 is about flush... is +18 sticking out VERY far? or is +18 sunk in?

Just to get some input, what do you think about these wheels?

I don't know what to think about them, they are nice, but are they LS nice?

19 or 20"?? +35 or +38 offset? Also... what is the LS' bolt pattern 5x1XX???

ADR Spartan wheels


I'm also interested in the Falken Koblenz. Machined finish with gunmetal accents

make a new thread, 1LS fitment is VERY different from 2LS fitment.
