Welllll the chrome on my 20's has slowly started chipping off, in some areas its quite noticable.. :(

So Im going for 19's since the 20's rub.. alot.. what size can I run in the rear? I was thinking 19x9.5 on the rears 19x8 fronts, also what size tire would be good with that for minimal rubbing but a good performance stance?

Here are some of the rims Im considering and a pic of her with the current rims, no tint and not lowered.. gotta get some new ones soon..

What's the offsets of your current rims? The reason they rub is your offset may be off. Me personally going with 19" I wouldn't do because it's an odd size and the tires are very expensive you wouldn't more than likely be able to walk into most stores and they got them on the shelve. At least where I live you can't. The correct offset and the LS looks dam good on 20's. That's just my two cents though. But I like the first rim a lot though.

+1 on everything he said..I have 20's and only rub with when hitting a large dip in the road with 2 big adults in the back. I like the first and fourth rims the most
 
Most tire stores around my area carry 19's. ALot on BMW's use them. I do however agree with you the price of them are too expensive.
 
Well they dont rub but they "bottom out" when I hit dips in the road even if its just me, maybe its cause Im on the highway and the speed has something to do with it as well..

I dont know SH!T about my current rims other than the make/model, diameter and width.. I got them from a shop cause I didnt wanna wait to get them shipped.. I got the rims 2 days after owning the car..

Pete...... Shut the hell up..... My buddy has 20" Avantis but hes bagged as well, and has a CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, and SCT tune.. Thats 5 things that you have none of.. Do you even own an LS? Bottom line.. You type too much :D
 
The first ASA and the TSW meshies of course:cool:

A good thing about TSW is that if you find a good dealer they can call in to see if they have blanks in various sizes, widths, and offsets. Then have them drilled to your BP.
 
Im kinda leaning towards the Sneddertons(TSW mesh) I think it would give me the "performance oriented" look Im after while still having some class..

Wait Jwerner, are these the rims you have? I know Ive asked you before and that you had it posted it your sig at one point but I cant remember for sure..
 
I have the ADR M-Sport. Close but mine have less spokes.

TSW is a great company. Im looking around for another set but Im setting my sights higher this time.

Oh I also almost went with the last set of TSW's also. They were amongs the few I wa looking into but Im not that big of a fan of five spokes on these cars. To big a car IMO.

I also thought I would rather buck up slightly and get the Falken Koblenz like Fonsitos instead but Im satisfied with what I have now.
 
I really like the ASA ones. Then the TSW meshies. Then the TSW 5 spoke. The Avarus ones would look terrible.
