The wheels are ASA JH9 18x8 with a 45mm offset. The tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position. I lowered it with Eibach springs and Sport shocks from Fast Parts Network. Hope you like the pics!!! I have some better ones but they are to big to post.
Thanks Ryan

Looks great! I want to lower mine with eibachs also. What are the shocks you got? Are they a factory upgrade or different?

Car looks real good. How many miles do you have on the Bridgestone's? I just picked up a set. Don't know if I'm satisified with them though.

Posted by: my04lincoln

I've only had them for almost a month so I dont have many miles on them!
Thanks Ryan

Nice looking car! You did a good job.

my04lincoln, you should paint all the lower gray plastic pieces to match the car.

Had Bridgestone Potenza's on an old 4 cyl turbocharged lil sports car years ago...

MAN would they STICK to the road !!!

When they wore out, I tried other tires and went right back to the Potenza's !!

That's an awesome lookin' LS!

Posted by: LS_KiNG

looks hott love that color with those rimss

Posted by: my04lincoln

Thanks everybody for the compliments!!

Posted by: GWL

Good Job!!

Bravo. Perfect setup with 18's with proper offset and Eibachs and stock Sport springs.

Much better and proper than some of these 20 setups which the LS was never engineered for.

Posted by: NateRW21

Looks GREAT!!! I NEVER see LS's in that color

What is the offset on those wheels??

And while we're on the subject, what is the "safe" range of offset on our cars while running 245's?

Ryan, Now that you have had the RE960AS's for a month what do you think of the tires?

I like them alot. The only thing that I dont like is when I let it set all night and go to leave for work the next day they have a slight flat spot. After driving a bit they go away. My Nittos did the same thing on my Mustang.
Thanks Ryan
