97-SC300: My V160 6spd swap thread (TONS of pics)
#106
I Installed the wheels this afternoon. Didn't have to raise the coilovers or adjust the suspension at all which was very pleasant. I absolutely love the look. Took some quick pics before it started raining again. Didn't need any spacers in the front to clear the LS4 brakes. Fits like a glove, there is still room for bigger tires or small spacers.
Specs are:
18 X 10 front 285/30/18
17 X 11.5 rear 315/35/17

Got to drive the car pretty hard last evening for about an hour or so to make sure the wheels and tires don't rub. Luckily, no sign at all of any rubbing. This new clutch is crazy, I think the old clutch was slipping way too much so it wasn't transferring the power to the wheels properly. It's noticeably faster now. Also, we took the gps with us to check if the speedometer is working properly and at all speeds it was about 1-2 miles off like it is on all of our cars with stock wheels.

Yep, my speedo was way off also when I did the R154 swap years ago. I am running a yellow box which you can use to re-calibrate the speed and dial it in until it's showing the proper speed, so I wasn't really worried about the speed being off again because it's easily adjusted, but it was a nice surprise that I don't have to tweak that thing at all.
