That's an excellent write-up. Your car looks great too.

There really isn't a whole lot of information on wheel fitment on our cars. It's very different from how it is in the SC scene. Nobody likes to give out information. A few guys on here are cool and will help you out if you message them though.

Again, Great post! Thanks for the clarification on your suspension.

Perhaps, a mod or someone can start a "Wheel Fitment Thread" where people can follow specific guidelines. This thread could be a great starting point for anyone looking for wheel fitment information on a LS430 and would cut down on all the other threads that people start asking simple questions about fitment.

Basically, anyone who wanted to post on this thread would post the following info...

Brand/model of wheels/tires (ie: Work Varianza T1 / General UHP)
Exact size specs of wheels including offset (ie: 19x10+24 F 19x11+24 R)
Exact tire specs (ie: 225/35/19 F 255/30/19 R)
Suspension components (ie: Tein CS coilovers, Megan racing camber/traction arms)
Fender modifications if any (ie: rolled/shaved front and rear fenders)
Alignment settings if known (ie: -1.5*/-3* Camber F/R, 0* Toe F/R, 8* Caster)

And the most important, at least 1-2 pictures (if not more) of your wheel/tire setup.

If i had a wheel setup, I wouldn't mind starting a thread like this... Perhaps the OP can create a new thread and it can be stickied?

Side note, a thread like this should typically keep discussion to a minimum so that anyone searching for information on that perfect wheel setup does not have to fish through a thousand posts saying "nice car" or "awesome wheels".

Just a thought...

What sizes and offsets are you looking at?

bootnylee

I was looking at 19s f8.5 & r9.5 Verde parallax..Idk what offset I can fill out w... was looking at the tanabe springs as well... I don't want to do any fender work either.. any help would be greatly appreciated

19's are the way to go if you're going aggressive offset. 20's are more for less aggressive offsets in my eyes. This car is gorgeous!!!

bootnylee

aggressive offset?

It depends on the overall look you're trying to achieve, but it sound like you're not going for anything aggressive. It'd be safe to run 8.5's and 9.5's with offsets in the 30's. I'm not sure what offsets the verde rims come with.

I found +32 front and +38 rear.. but what I don't understand is why the tire sizes suggested are 245/40/19 fr and 275/35/19rear how does work w the different sidewall height?

damn looks super clean.. been thinking about a set of these for my next wheels

SQuester

They'll fit fine. And the sidewall height is okay, the "series" of a tire is an aspect ratio or percentage of the tread width. Plug the tire sizes into a tire size calculator and you'll see if they're close to the stock diameter(which is optimal).

bootnylee

thank you, the front was larger by a lil bit and threar was smaller by a hair.. i found a +38 f/r set.. ive never had wheels larger than 18. so my other ? is when on 35 sidewalls does it change driving style?ie: have to drive slower, ride quality sacrificed.. if i'm asking to many ?s lmk.. just wanna get this right bc i love the way everyones cars look and i dont want to dissappoint..

SQuester

Yeah, you'll trade a bit of comfort for response/turn-in bite as you go with smaller sidewalls, it's just how it is. Driving characteristics shouldn't change too drastically from 18's to 19's, avoid potholes and don't go fast over speedbumps unless you want bent/cracked rims.

man i cant stop looking at this car...awesome job and thanks for the specs really help alot.
