I put on my spare tire today. The entire sidewall had blown own out. My chrome LS430 wheel didn't receive any damaged. I was blessed that I didn't crash or damage the car.

I ordered new wheels today. I'm getting my build one step closer to being done.

Was washing the car and decided to do a tire rotation after.

I hope you used that opportunity to clean the back of the wheels too.

Test fit some 19x11 +19 in the rear for fun. The wheels are 5x112, so that's why the car is still lifted instead of being lowered. These specs would be able to fit with a bigger stretch and around -5 degrees of camber in the rear.

There are 3 options:

1. Redrill, but this doesn't always work because of the bore of the lug nut holes might prevent a socket from seating for 5x114.3
2. Adapters
3. PCD variation nut aka "wobble nuts" which are good for a 2mm difference, but these also have the same limitations as option 1.

Oh but of course! The ocd in me wouldn't let me do it otherwise.

Received the LS400 fan pulley bracket today, tracking down the pulley itself tomorrow, so the install of my new radiator and electric fans can get finished up. And I'm going to try to find the LS400 brakes while I'm out and about tomorrow.

I took the car for a nice drive to go pick up a shifter bezel this morning.

Do you still have your HRE 540 wheels? If you do, have any current pictures of your sc?
