everything i said was under the assumption that you had made sure your wheels would clear your brakes BEFORE you bought them. 95-00 LS400s are notorious for having clearance problems with aftermarket wheels; at the original spec your wheels would have been fine clearance-wise.

i say 15mm, you measured 1/2 inch, which is 12.7mm, so take your pick, the proper kind of spacer you need (hubcentric for toyota/lexus 60.1mm bore) is available in 5mm increments, unless you feel the need to cheap out on some non-hubcentric 1/2 generic spacers, in which case you WILL have massive vibration and will possibly watch the wheel part ways with your car while on a highway.

If you're wheels are originally 19x8.5 +35, after adding a 15mm spacer it will be 19x8.5 +20. for that you will most definitely need a fender roll, possibly a pull, and if you arent lowered it WILL look like a 4x4.

 

Thanks for that update pd. I want to keep the wheels. I like the way they look. So, no cheap outs here. Where should I get the spacers?

 

Found some on ebay. About $80. Sound right?

 

whats the brand? u can get some ichiba v2 spacers with the studs for around 110-120 from some of the vendors around here. check the vendor forums for some special pricing.

 

Thanks licelsior. Here is the link for the ones I found on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5x114...Q5fAccessories

Are theses worthwhile? I will check the vendors here also.

 

i rather go with a more reputable brand for 20-30 bucks more. it'll give u a good sense of thought that people had little to no problems while running those spacers as compared to a no name brand.

Thanks pd. The wheels are not solid. I will be buying them today.

 

Bought the spacers and waiting for them to get here. Tracking that package like crazy. As soon as they are on, I will post pics.

 

After its all said and done, time and wheels spacers....here they are!
The fronts stick out just a tiny bit but not noticeable. Now its time to lower and wash this car!

 

take some better pics...also once u get it lowered u will like it much better! i like the lip on em

Those wheels look way better than I thought they would on your car. Especially with the drop.

 

Thanks Python!
