wheel woes!!
i have a 96 ls400, tried to get some bbs rs reps but it didnt clear
at 18x8 +30mm with 5mm spacer it still didnt clear
to get them to fit i have i will need to use a studded adapter and major pull since it already sticks outta the fender
does anyone have/know of similar wheels that might be easier to clear with minimal work
**** i love the real bbs, but until i'm willing to sell my other toys and give my other hobbies its not in my future****

You do not need high offset wheels to clear LS400 brakes, like Timmy said, you need hi-pad/hi-disc wheels.
Your best bet is to sell those wheels and get something different if they are already poking out. You might get away with a 10mm spacer but you'll have camber and pull the hell out it to avoid the fender. 8" wide means you pretty much have to run a boxed tire so no stretch to save you either!

i know i need a hi-pad and or different spoke design

i was just venting on how much i really liked the way it looked on my car when test fitted but couldnt get it to fit with minimal work
also was just wondering if anyone knew of a similar design that would work
thanks again
