Ur car always looks good man, simply clean...

 

20 x 8.5 (30mm) front 20 x 10.5 (42mm) rear
Tires: Falken 452 245/35/20 front 285/30/20 will this work on my LS430?:

 

depends on how low you are. if you are pretty low you may get some rubbing in the front (fender) when turning sharp or turning and hit a bump. again in the rear you may rub a little (inside fender liner) if lowered a lot but if not that low you should be golden. they will fit just fine, just may rub a little under certain circumstances and with a lot of weight in the car.

 

I am thinking of lower the LS430 SPRINGS ONLY---EITHER EIBACH/OR TANABE Springs....WHICH DO U THINK IS BETTER....or which is lowest?? Now I hear that the car might sag in the rear a little bit because of the weight or just old shocks... Thank you for all your help and your car is looking very nice!

 

i almost got the tanabe CS's for my previous gs400 but sold it and got the LS instead. i hear CS's are really great feeling but actually don't lower it that much. i wanted to go real low and the coilovers are a lot harsher than just the springs are for sure. not sure about sagging at all though.

 

I am thinking with 1.0 all around should be fine and no rubbing with the set up I am going with... I use to have a gs430 ltuned and I slammed it pretty low. I just dont want to loose the comfort with the ls430. We have the same cars lol....Flint mica and I have blk interior and blk wood....is yours blk interior?

 

nope ^ ^ ^,, i went with the light tan or ecru or whatever its called. yeah i constantly battle the comfort vs looks fight myself... lately looks is winning, but i will be 30 soon

 

Pics look great, hard to believe these were taken with a phone. You have some great scenery out there in annapolis. Offsets look great on the new wheels. When you get bored, maybe you can sell me these too.

here is a blast from the past...............see anything familiar??

I have some more pics here if you want to see themhttps://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...s-picture.html

 

awww man i seriously miss those old 19's. they look great on ur GS. are they still int he same condition?? would you be interested in a trade + some cash on a swap of those 19's for my new Trafficstar 20's seriously though?

how did you get the lips so damn shinny? i had them for like 2 years and i'm sure it was at least 2 years since before i had them that they looked that shinny. i actually had them high polished up 1 day for like 400 or 500 but like a week after they looked dull again, i was a little pissed at that expense...

 

Thanks for the offer but im broke as a joke right now. Plus I want to do a few other things before I think about changing up my wheels.

But you wouldnt believe the bad luck I've had with these wheels. So I got these in like the end of fall, and then winter rolls around. And I drive with them on my car all winter like an idiot. Every time I look at my car I think, "Its too cold to polish my wheels,I'll just wash off that disgusting black residue when it gets warmer". Nah man, that stuff was on there like concrete.

Then I crush both front wheels in two different potholes at the same time bending them both. One was bad enough to cause an air leak.


Then I got some 15mm spacers to push the wheels out a little more. Install the spacers and go for a test drive, make a right turn that I have made a thousand times and BOOM, curb the right rear! A spot on the lip like 8 inches long. So that was the final straw, I put my stock wheels back on and had my boy take the tires off and I spent a total of about 3 or 4 hours PER WHEEL Filing out the curbies sanding off the nasty black stuff and polishing my *** off.

I finished off the wheels in 2000 grit sandpaper and polished them with mothers aluminum polish and some cheap buff wheels from harbor freight.
These things looked like a piece of chrome when I was finished! But a week later they got dull. Oh well, Who said looking good was easy

 

i know exactly what you mean about having bad luck with wheels. sucks that you had so many issues. i've had the same happen with dullness after a short period of time but i've heard of some having a finish put on them that will keep the shine but i'm not sure how or what its called... good luck with your car,

 

In the rear, is that 35mm with the spacer or 20mm?

 

that is niiice!

 

35mm offset without the spacer and then added the 15mm spacer.

now i am running 275x30x20 tire in the rear and I took off the 15mm spacer and put on a 5mm spacer. almost the same tire position but a little less aggressive looking and feeling.

thanks jadu.

i guess i have x2 lightly used toyo proxes t1r's 255x30x20 for sale now, and will be putting up the for sale thread soon.

 

Car looks amazing! I love that stance.

I don't know if you already mentioned it, but what coils are you running?

Thanks.
