Default Got new shoes for the LS - check it out...

Ordered these Leon Hardiritt Beils at the beginning of July and just got them the week of Thanksgiving. Took me a while to decide what rubber to put on them, then some time to actually mount them on the car (had to paint the calipers first - something I had been meaning to do since the summer time).

I just had an alignment done as well. Good thing too since the right side was pulling kinda good. Let's see if I can post multiple pics....

This is with setting "4" up front on the datasystem controller


This is the rear dish lip, using my cell phone for reference. Couldn't afford the $100 bill that was used on someone else's post


Another view of the driving height "4" front, "2" Rear


Just love that fat back tire (tires are Nitto 555-Extreme ZR 245/35/20 front, 275/30/20 rear)


As you can see, mild fitment (i.e. no stretch)

Default Another set of pics

Here are final sets of pics that I took for this thread....

Close up of the fronts


setting "5" front, "3" rear. This is my favorite pic of the car from these set of pics


setting "7" front, "5" rear


final pic of the front with "7" setting (I believe)


Had to through in a pic of the E430 since it was in the garage as I was taking these pics.

VERY VERY nice wheels. I cannot even express how great the car looks. I just love how it looks so nice, so different, yet so subtle (doesn't poke you in the face kind of flashy). Full face wheels just flow very well with the LS.

Again, successful choice, and thanks for sharing

Beautiful setup. Same tires as me BTW, those Nitto 555 wears very good.

Also, watch those curbs. Don't want to ruin those brand spanking new wheels.
