Biggest wheel size for LS430?
Hi all, I have an '02 LS430 on order and I'm trying to figure out what the largest rim size and width I can put on an LS430. I saw the post of the LS430 with the Fabulous kit and the website says it is 20x9 fronts and 20x10.5 rears. Does anyone know if this is actually possible or is it just for show? If it can be done what would be the proper offset for this car?
Also, does anyone know if other companies make a 20x10.5 rear fitment for the LS430 (Lowenhart, HRE, etc...).

I am 99% sure that a 10.5" rear will require some fenderwork...looks sweet though! 
I really like the Fabulous wheels (and they're forged)...and I think the body kit is kinda nice...aggressive w/o looking too overdone...

I am currently working on getting prices on these wheels...(along with a bunch of other JDM items)...
You can also try Dave @ GT Autosports (though he's REALLY been hard to get ahold of lately...you might want to give him a couple of months to get his new site up)....

If you really want to get agressive, and get in on the game of one-upping the next guy, you could replace your wheels with a set of 21 x 9 front and rear. You would want to use a 245/35-21. It would only increase your rolling diameter .65" over stock, and it sure would get some attention. I believe there is already a black LS430 in the gallery section with a set of 21" Giovanna Dramas on it. You could also go with the Lowenheart LD1, or Lexani Amethist. Unfortunately there is not a lot available in this size though. If you do it, please post some pics!!

I think 21 x 9 will rub in the front. I know it will give problems for the GS because I had a great deal with 21" lowenharts that are 21 x 9 in the front but it rubbed.

You may have had rub, but the LS430 comes with a larger wheel and tire than the GS does. To put a 21 x 9 on an LS is less extreme than putting it on the GS. Do you have any pics with the Lowenharts on your car? It would be the first GS I've seen on 21s. I've heard of it being done, I just havent seen it yet. Thanks.
