JUSt got some new wheels tried them on today fit good they have 40+ offset. 245/35/20 tires. when i tried them on the rims barely hit the caplier but when i bolted on they spinned prefect. test drove and felt a more smoother ride with better handling in the steering wheel. kinda sound a humming from the right front side or front. also a lil bit rubbing in front right i dont know if its the tires or suspension. it was nice earlier in the day but was cold in NY then got cloudy n lil snow. the car is very dirty but i wanted to try the rims on since i bought them.
New Rims......

I'm not usually a fan of most aftermarket wheels, but those looks awesome. And I love the stance of the car!!

Are those boss 327's? If so then I will be getting some of those for sure. I love the look of 5 split spoke rims. Looks very good.
i cleaned the car 2day so i will try n post sum pics and i also added my lse grill back on but yea they are boss rims... anyone have nitto extreme tires?? when i drive n slow down i hear a humming sound i dont kno if its the tires or suspension??
i might put my eibach springs back on but i dont wanna have much rubbing since it rubs when im turning and hittin gas also when i hit dips in road..
ANY 20IN RIMS INFO LET ME KNO

i've heard mixed comments when it comes to 20's w/ lowering springs. i want to do it but when i talked to mikedeezy he told me he does bottom out once in a while on big bumps and there are plenty in los angeles, so..... Regardless, if you want to do it you can roll the fenders as well. i think the eibachs would do better than the cut oem springs. just my opinion. also i think it depends on the wheels themselves
how do u do the inner fenders??? and wat will i have to remove or mess with?? im havin problems with the right side for some reason, the front rubbs very little its just the back when i hit some bumps
Use a hammer and hit the inside of you wheel wells thats what I did worked great ill try to get some pics...You might have to do a little cutting in the back but I didnt have to I know someone did though

i know a guy here in the valley that charges 60 for all 4 corners. i wouldn't do it myself as i tend to mess a lot of things up when i do them myself with no prior knowledge on how to do it correctly

Not sure if this works on the LS or not but I used to have a Lexus IS300 I put some 19's on and I had to roll my fenders...What I did was stuck the small end of a baseball bat between the wheel and fender towards the front of the car and drove in reverse slowly and it rolled the lip of the fenders just perfect

Ride better than stock. I got a second opinion from a good friend that runs Auto cross SCCA and he also said it rode a lot better than stock.
