The painted ones are 22 by 9 in the front and the rear are by 10 on 235 30 22 front and 265 30 22 in the back. I dont know the face offset because i bought them used. I had to put spacers on the front, rolled all the fenders($75 a corner),and removed the front fender liner. Im on air now and cant drive low because when i turn hard the tire rubs the inside fender wall, so im going to a body shop and have them do some work to the inside of my front fenders. 22s dont look bad on these cars, its just that space between the tire and fender that kills the clean lines of the car. They all sit up like Donks with any size wheel if you dont drop it. I only drive this car on the weekends, if this was my daily driver i would play it safe with 20s. Just make sure your 20in tire is the same height as your factory wheel and tire. On 22s im about 3/4th of a inch taller than my factory. The thicker the tire the more your going to rub. IMO, 20s are the best size for any 90s Big Body.

I went with 22s cause Ladies Love Cool Cars...

Thx for replying and the slammed pic looks nice, I'm just not a fan of lowering the Lex. On my Maxima, all day long. When i said offsets i meant +25,+35. I wanna do a staggered fitment wider rear but don't want tires to stick out.

Could I fit 20x10.5 in the rear of my ucf20? No VIP look tho. Just right without the wheels sticking out!

You are free to like what you like, but do try to tone it down a bit, confronting the majority of those here is probably not the best way to introduce yourself to a forum

I agree. The most radical change I'd be looking for would be 5-spoke LS430 wheels. I was hoping I would see more of those since I am thinking about buying them for my 2000 LS.

Unfortunately, almost all of what I see here are these 20" gangster setups where the rim is almost contacting the fender..! I guess I am not a part of the cool crowd, because to my eyes it just looks hideous. Oh well.. at least we can hopefully all agree that the LS400 is an amazing machine.
