I know there's a lot of threads on rims but i had some specific questions for who ever can help me out. I have an 03 LS V6 and was planning on getting these rims.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KASINO-SLOT...d=100033&prg=1011&rk=3&rkt=3&sd=130893041436&

My question is would these fit perfectly on my car (taking center bore, offset, and any rubbing in consideration), i have no lowering springs but would like to drop it 1.5 inches all around so would i still be able to do so after putting these rims in. I have never gotten aftermarket rims before so kinda new to this. LAST thing, do you think these would look nice on my car since I have blacked out my grill, lower grill, fogs, and all trim pieces?

All the other rim threads you mentioned could have answered your questions. But since your local ill help you out...

Yes they will fit. Youll need some hubcentric rings to prevent any vibrations. If you drop it, you will rub. How much you rub will depend on how much tire you get. I ran 245/35s (i wouldnt run less tire)on my 20s with a slightly higher offset than the ones you are looking at, lowered on eibachs, and rubbed only on big dips at highway speeds. And full lock. You might get away with no rubbing but youll have to run a very small tire but with roads like ours your rims wont last.

Also i think those rims could look good. Wish they we'rent all black but eeh

What part of Jersey are you from?
 
No wonder he's double checking here on LVC, that eBay ad says they'll fit 2000-2007 Lincoln LS's. 2007? right!

Sweet wheels for sure. +1

+1. I wouldn't go any bigger than 245/35's because you're going to rub when lowered without a doubt. Before the search Nazis jump in here make sure you actually read the threads you find when you search. They don't like overly redundant questions that have easy answers. Stick around though and get comfortable, we're not too bad here.
 
Thank you both for the help and sorry about the repeat of questions. This is the most helpful site I've been too:) and I live in Woodbridge. Where are you from? And is there a size for the hub centric rims?
 
I thought it was 63.4? I went with 63.36 to get a tight fit.
 
Im in Newark (the Ironbound) and we also have another guy in Elizabeth whose a good buddy of mine:

The hubcentric rings you would need to get are 63.4mm ID to match the LS's hub and 73.1mm OD to match the wheels.
 
That's not too far. I pass both places commuting to college everyday. I go to New Jersey City University. Thanks for all the info!
 
My girl lives in woodbridge (Avenel) let me know if you ever need any help with anything or if you ever wanna meet up.

I hate that pic of my car LOL since it was the first day and the springs didn't settle it looks like a damn monster truck hahahaha
 
I'll deff let you know whenever i need any help with my car. Rims and lowering springs are next on my list and than halos. Do you know anyone that can install them?
 
Do you mean mount the rims? You can go to any tire shop to do that, the ones in the hood by me are so cheap. Charge me around 20$ to mount and balance all 4. To do the springs you can rent the spring compressor tool from auto zone and if you have sufficient time available do it yourself. It is not difficult at all, remove about 10 total bolts compress spring, place spring on strut, repeat, but it is time consuming especially if you've never done it before.
 
my last pair of rims I got from this seller. they are in Jamaica queens so just get the address and go over. all their rims have no holes In them when you place your order they will bore it and make the 5x108 holes on them. I had 235/35 and no rubs at all. you can also get 245/35 but I think that rubs a little. these are the rims that I am thinking of getting and painting the lip the color of the car. so If I was you for the shipping price I would just drive over there and have them do it and mount them on your car.
