Default My car getting new sneakers !!

Hello guys!
Well tommorow im going to make a purchase between two rims. The Linea corse LC818 or five axis s5 rims. However im stuck between the two rims because both look nice. My Lexus is350 is black so what do you guys prefer! Once I make the purchase, I will post some pictures! Also, I am lowered with f-sport springs. Would 19 inches heighten the ride?
Thank!!!

I prefer the LC818's, but both are nice. As long as you get the right tire sizes, they will have almost the same rolling diameter as 18" stockers.

Are the S5's the same price as the 818's?

818's look nice man. Go ahead and get the 19's, don't go with 20's unless your planning on dropping your car some more.

Go to this section https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...tart-here.html and talk with Mv350, he is the best tire guy I know on here for our cars. He will give you the right setup for your ride! Tell him JMcDonald sent you

For LC818s, most people are running 225/35-19 and 265/30-19 (these are my specs, too). Some have tried 235s in the front, but that tends to rub due to the offset. That said, with FSport springs, you shouldn't have many problems.

Similar tire sizes can be run for the 5AD rim, but you might be able to use 270 or even 275 width tires in the back.

Both sets of rims are owned by many CL members, so do a search to learn their impressions.

I was trying to make the same decision a few months ago between those two wheels and also Forgestar F14s. I ended up going with something else altogether. The LCs are a good choice.
