Default Comfortable shoes

Finally got my new wheels and tires. I will do a real photoshoot next week but grabbed this quick phone pic today. About 10 pound lighter per corner.

Looks great! What are your wheel and tire specs?

21 X 9 front, 21 X 10.5 rear, offsets are about 15mm more aggressive than stock so wheels/tires sit almost flush with fenders. Tires are 255/40, 295/35. Michelin PS4S. Handling and ride are much improved. Better pics to come.

I was a bit more aggressive:

I'm running Vossen HF-1 Wheels, 21x9½" front, offset +5 - 21x10½" rear, offset +15.

Tires are Michelin PS4S 255/40/21 and 295/35/21 rear - Non RFT

Those look great! We have the same tires. I held back a little bit on the offsets because I was worried about the sticky Michelin’s kicking some stones up on the paint.

A couple more shots. I finally weighed both wheel/tire setups and the new ones are 15 pounds lighter in the rear and 13 pound lighter in the front. Car feels so much better. OEM rear setup was 74 pounds each!

Hey Lou do you have some more angles showing how flush your wheels are with the fender? I'm looking to get some rims and need to see what size I should go with

I like the OEM stock setup (simple and clean), those aftermarket wheels are too aggressive for the LC

The stock wheels are also 15 pounds heavier and the run flats ride and handle like ****. Matters not to me anymore. Sold the car months ago.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. But, I have to disagree with you.
