so i picked up an 05 ls430 ul.

can you guys help me out with a width and offset for the trafficstar dtx? sorry, im an idiot when it comes to fitment...

the car will be lowered on datasystems without the ss, but with a lip kit (if it matters)...

thanks all

 

how aggressive? do you want to roll your rear fenders or even shave them to get a more aggressive fitment?

for rim and tire sizes you are prolly looking at 275x30x20 (20x10 rim) rear with ___ offset, and front 245x35x20 (20x8.5 rim) with ___ offset. offset depends on what mods to fenders you want to make.

 

thanks. i would say semi-aggresive? i dont mind rolling and pulling a little. i was thinking 9.5 and 10.5??

 

im wondering the same thing... but i was going to go with 9 and 10 inches. thinking +30 isnt TOO agressive? what color is your car btw?

 

car is black...just talked to my wheel guy and he is saying 9.5 might be too agressive in the front with the data controller...so i dont know now....

 

i have the controller and ss kit as well and i wouldn't do more than a 9" width up front if you want anything semi aggressive or more. but you could always stretch your tires and run 30's up front as well i spoze.

 

i am running 20x9 +25 offset for front and 20x10.5 +30 offset for rears. i rolled the front fenders and shaved my rears. its all how aggressive and low you want to go.

 

i wanna be flush at ride height i guess. i guess 9 in the front is prob best and maybe 10 in the back? i would love to see some pics of some cars at ride heights for reference though...anybody have any? most of the pictures i see in the "ultimate thread" are all layed out for photos....

hey tdvlexo: do you have pics of your car i can see? i would like to see your setup if i could on the shaving you did....

 

this is my daily ride height, i am currently on coilovers, just swapped out my air suspension a few weeks ago. i will lower it more in the next couple of months.[IMG]

 

car is looking proper my man. i really like that stretch in the rear! thats exactly the ride height i am going for. what offsets you think i should do if i go with 9 and 10 on the dx2?

thanks again for all the help

 

If you want flush then I would go +25 for front and +30 for rear, all depends on your liking.

 

Im running 20x10 +25 in the front and 20x10.5 +15 including spacers in the rear, this is my ride height on the datasystem control, itz #8 in the front and #7 in the rear, no cut with mild rolled in rear, tryna get new wheels with more aggressive offset, also im running 225/35 all around


This is L mode in the front and #9 in the rear

I hope this helps......

 

hey tdvlexo do you ride on that height all day every day from that pic above?? do you have any problems riding that low? i am getting those coilovers installed in about an hour and was wishing i could run that low but thought it might have to be an inch or two higher for realistic driving conditions. my carwash spot says i need at least 3-3.5 inches of clearance to use their services. how many inches would you say your front is off the groun in that pic?

 

damn...10's in the front? no rubbing issues at all??
