Default Will these Wald rims fit my LS?

Hello wheel experts..

I have looked at rims for a long time, adn now I have found the coolest rim after my opinion. My car is a LS from 1993 does anyone know if these rims could fit? http://www.wald.co.jp/parts_acce/wheel/d21f/index.html Press Spec..

Thanks in advance

Thats a very clean wheel. Wald should be able to make them in the right lug and offset. It just takes time. Like 6 to 8 weeks. would love to see them on your car. buy em and post up some pics

The Duchatlet is a classic style for the LS. I'd think the low disk 2095 and 2010 with the lower offset might be cause to roll/shave the fender depending what tire you decide to run. PD's better versed than I.

My suggestion is getting a high disk front fitment. You don't need it but in the event you decide put Supra brakes it will clear. With a wheel this large, it will change how the car brakes, you may just want to put a nicer caliper on it. Additionally, if you do decide to sell the wheels at some point a high disk front will enable other Lexus owners who have the big front brake calipers to consider your wheels. 95+ LS's, GS's with big brake conversions...

Nice wheel...

Don't see why they would not fit as long as you get the right offset. If you have a big brake kit then maybe there would be issues. One of the first gen guys will chime in and guve their specs.

the more important question is how low do you plan on going? you can fit just about anything at stock height Those wheels are gorgeous but suffer from walds notorious high offsets (I dont think they ever made them lower than +35) even with a spring drop of 2' you shouldnt need anything or at most a very light roll.

At the moment, I think the rims would be running on stock suspension. Could someone tell me if I get them in the smallest size 20x8.5 which offset and tire size should I use to be sure that they will fit the car without rolling fenders ect..?

Thanks

even if you got 20x10 +37 i very highly doubt you would need even a roll.

what im trying to say is get what you want, all of these sizes will work with your setup
