Where is your LS at Will? Did you already get a new project and get rid of the LS?
My LS is back to stock now, and my old BBK is up for sale if interested.

I was hoping you would keep it the way it was. It was almost identical to mine except I don't have the Futura brakes.

I'm trying to get some more money saved up to buy them. I'm getting new wheels for my SC next week so money is tight but if you're interested in a payment plan or some sort of trade plus cash on my end let me know. I would kill for a set of Futuras.

So, you like 19's better than the 20's?

I agree. This is the first time I have seen them without the step lip. It makes the wheels look bigger without the step lip.

I disagree...I am all about the step lip! My next set of wheels will be step lip 20s

I'll probably list the Weds for sale again when I burn through the tires lol

lets clear something up, i do think step lips look better imo more sporty. Unfortenatly the face is 1" smaller so if you want 19s on ls step lip would be 18" face way too small imo. 20" step lips are sure nice but overall tire height is too large on 35 sidewall and 20s.

You could always do a 30 profile on a 20.

When I did the rough math, I think a 225/30/20 would sit pretty much the same as my 225/35/19. Obviously skinnier tires though.

Yeah broke cords in 2 tires within 500 miles just from hitting change of pavement on the highway with 30s so basically gave up. Not to mention 30s are harder to flip without damaging sidewall
