Default Just bought some 20" wheels for my LS :-)

Hi guys.

I just bought some Weds Kranza Bazreia 9x20 ET +25 and 10x20 ET +08.

Can they sit on my 91' LS400 ??

I also just bought BC Racing coilover suspension so i can get it lowered.

I'm thinking of 225/30-20 in the front and 245 or 255/30-20 in the rear. What do you say? The winter wheels i have now is 205/65-15.

I hope I get the wheels this week so i can order some tires. Really hope i can use the wheels with only have to roll the fenders a bit and maybe shave a little. I just dont want new fenders welded on etc.

Picture used from ElitistK here on Clublexus. Looks freaking great on his GS300.

fronts fit perfectly, rears need a roll. 245/30 in the rear will work.

bc racing coilovers will get u low.

fitemnt is sujective but the front will need spacers i think (~15mm). rears will take a flat roll/shave and stretched tires but when you're done fitment will be sick.

fitment has potential, but 20s are generally hard to pull off on ucf1x cars unless you're kitted out without looking goofy.

good luck, buy these off of elitistk? EDIT: nvm, these are 20s, his are 18/19s

Whahaha, Even Megan's won't get you anywhere near stock height on the front.

Good luck with fitting these under. I had +24 Walds for my rear. But I switched up to +37's since I can't use any negative camber. My car's a midnight-highway runner . I'm a fast driver and need proper alignment. + there are a lot of potholes caused by last winter.

Anyway, these are among my favourite wheels. I absolutely love these in Machined/polish finish.

Hmm different opinions...

Didnt no that the BC should be that low??

Well, i want to go low, but also driveable. I cant afford universal airride yet, but will buy that next year. I hope i can start out with this.

It maybe look a little goofy when i have nothing but my euro front lip, but well i got these for a good price so i couldnt stop buying them 8-) I hope they will fit with the streched tires and rolled fenders.

That's a hot looking GS. I noticed there are lots of sweet 2GS on the site. Kinda reminds me of the old days.

You're in need of a lot negative camber if you're not going that low, or else it will poke very much

Fronts shouldn't be an issue. had some 9 inch wide +20 offset and it required a spacer to fit good, imo at least. The rears will need a roll or shave like someone already stated, i had 10 inch wide +20 and it also could have used at least a 10mm spacer.
