Please share pictures of your LC with aftermarket wheels in this thread!

Post details of wheel size, offsets, tire choice, etc as well.

 

I recently bought a new LC500, a decision made only after acquiring invaluable information gleaned from the knowledgeable members who post here; thank you all.

Nightfall Mica was a must-have color for me, though I almost went with Ultra White as I seem to alternate between blue and white cars. I was leaning towards Toasted Caramel interior, but decided on the Black Leather (Touring Package) being thankful that the contrast stitching was sparingly, yet tastefully applied. The car came equipped with the optional forged alloys, but the dealer offered aftermarket wheels as another option. I went with 21" Vorsteiner V-FF 103 finished in Titanium Machine. The Vorsteiner wheels compliment the car perfectly, both in design and finish; incredibly, the deeply concave, wider rear wheels enhance the car's muscular stance even more so.

Thanks to this forum, I was informed about the various issues reported. I made sure the fuel pump recall had been addressed on my car, and I inquired about the noisy brakes issue. The service advisor told me the so-called fix is lower-friction brake pad material, with a trade-off of less stopping power. I'm sticking with the original pads for now; while the brakes were a bit noisy for the first few hundred miles, they're nearly silent now - go figure. And what's with the ambient lighting system (illuminated entry system)? Dimly lit when you first enter the car and start it, but then dimming down to negligible when the car is put in gear.

 

 

Looks great; fills out wheel wells nicely!

 

There are threads discussing this subject. In a nutshell though. The LC has 3 wheel options. a 20" cast wheel, a 20" forged wheel and the 21" forged wheel on the vehicle you drove. Tire sizes are:

245/45R20 &275/40R20 for the 20s

and

245/40R21 & 275/35R21 for the 21s

I thought I should share this with everyone here. Just finished getting a bunch of stuff done to my LC. Here's a breakdown:

- RS-R Ti2000 Springs
- Full Novel FRP kit (apparently first one in North America)
- De-chrome of all accents
- BC Forged HCS-21s 21" wheels 9.5x21 front and 11.5x21 rear

I attached some pics here, but the majority are on the link below.

Also, I wanted to thank Louie from Mod in Japan and the people at Precision Sport Industries in Oviedo, FL.

Enjoy!

 

Dam! When my LC grows up it wants to look just like yours. Bravo very well put together showstopper for sure!!

 

Hi guys so as you know LC have stupid thin wheels so i will buy vossen HF-2 front 21" 9 rear 21" 11
But I'm thinking for tyres i need the best size guys can any one help me

 

I'm having some custom forged wheels made (21 X 9 front, 21 X 10.5 rear) and going with these:

Michelin PS4: 275/35/21 front, 315/30/21 rear

Diameters are almost identical to stock, which is what you want. These are not runflats...thank God.

 

Do u have any photo bro ?

I will go to front 21 9 (21/40/255or245)
Raer 21 11 (21/35/295)

What do you think?

 

No pics. I haven't even ordered the wheels yet but I'm probably going with these. They will have a more aggressive offset than stock. Probably +12mm more in the front and +15mm more in the rear. Wheels will be lighter than stock as will the non runflat tires.

 

Just now i order the HF-2 (21x9 21x11)
And tyres front 21/40/255 rear 21/35/295

 

What offsets for the wheels? Which brand of tires?

 

Anyone thats interested in some Vossens or other custom wheels, let us know!

If you are going to run non run flats, are you adjusting the suspension?
