Default New 19" Ferrada Wheels for my 05

Just picked up these Ferrada FR4 wheels for my 2005 LS430. 19 x 8.5 in the front, 19 x 9.5 in the rear. Going in tomorrow to get my coils lowered a little bit as I'm not a fan of the current wheel gap. Don't see a lot of 430s on 19s (as 20s seem to be the more popular choice) so I thought I'd share!

Nice. I like the look of those. Updates the lines of the car.

Interesting fog light lenses

nice! 20s seem to be all the rage, but a good looking 19 looks great without the rubber band look of the tire, its also a bit more functional. Got anymore shots?

What tire specs did you go with. I have some 19s sitting in the garage still undecided on my tires.

Went with 245/40 in the Front and 265/35 in the back still rides pretty comfortably coming from the stock 18s

Thanks! I got em new, w/ tires and install I was $2400 in. A bit much to spend on an older car but I've wanted those wheels for quite some time and didn't want to cut corners on a car that I plan on keeping forever.

Can’t wait to see it dropped. Tears look like it will be fine but I would roll the fronts just to be safe. Just be careful when rolling them.

What coil-overs do you have? How is the ride compared to stock?

BC Racing Type BR, rode pretty damn smooth with the stock 18s, felt quite a bit tighter and has a lot less body roll. I'd say it was a huge improvement. Now with these wheels it's a tiny bit rougher but in no means isn't still comfortable. Bumps are a bit easier to notice in the road but on the freeway is still as smooth as ever
