Default most radical wheel sizes

so i see some of you guys run some wicked wheel sizes... and we all love that VIP look...

ive got some 18x13 -15 and 18x11 -1 volk victrix (work euroline)

they were bought for my mk3 supra... i'm wondering if i could clear them on the ls4 with a wicked stretch and a pull on the fender. is anyone running even remotely close to this size? its hard for me to take a guess as to how much room i have as the car is on stock suspension, hard to guesss how flush the rim would be with a massive drop and lots of camber (i'm talking about bottoming out megans... that low)

most people here on CL arent running the most aggressive offsets. head over to VSC (vipstylecars.com) and check the lexus/toyota forums.

im not the most aggressive but i'm running a 20x9 +30 and 20x10.5 +12 with flat fenders, no pull.

Just curious, what year LS400 do you have? Im no where near those offsets but I rolled and pulled my rears to the absolute max, and cambered the rears. But if u can pull it off, more power to you man... ***** would look wicked.

do this...
take a measuring tape and go out to your rear wheels.

imagine the wheel lip being a further 3+ INCHES away from where they are now.

Im on....
18x8 +29 with 15mm front spacers (i can another 5-10mm more)
18x9 +37 with 20mm rear spacers (MAYBE 5mm more)

I have rolled fenders. No pull. My 91 is about 5-8 inches from the floor on coilovers.


Thebeeguy has this:

19x9.5 +16 Super low disk
19x10 +10 Super low disk

http://vipstylecars.com/forums/showt...ight=thebeeguy

That setup you want on a car without major work...



Only JESUS can help you there...

you would need some serious bubble fenders. it would be sick when done though.
i ran 18x9 +24 and 18x10+24 with a roll.
