Yesterday was the first time I have ever had the FUCA hit. When it happened the first thing that I thought was "Crap, I lied to Ethan..". The wife and I were heading down some old backroads to a cemetery to do some research on her ancestors and I hit a fairly substantial ridge in the road that was hidden by shade. I was going about 20mph and it caused a ruckus.. I took the car down all of the old back roads I grew up on and my UCA didn't touch a thing.
I've had the standard 16" chromes (225/60/R16) on my 2000 LS400 (87K original miles) since I got it 5 years ago and have been more than happy with them. Now sadly the chrome is starting to "flake" and as I need new rubber anyway, I've decided to upgrade to 17".
Found a great set of 2004 LS430 6 spoke chromed for only $100! Just getting cash together for four new Michelin MXV4 Primacy 225/55/R17 101V. Pics to follow
These are not as big as the LS430 5 spoke 18", so I'm hoping the ride quality should not be too affected.
