LOL were you in Irvine today by any chance? Think I saw you today ~1pm near alton. I was in my company car.

Sick nonetheless, need to get those front fenders cleaned up though.

Hey guys, sorry if I sound noobish but i'm a bit new to this form. Owning a 98 Black on Black LS400 with 136K miles on it.. I thought about saving up for a new car but theres just something about her that I don't want to let go, so I might go this VIP route and make her shine once again. We both need help though. I saw a picture of a Black LS400 that looked like this Name:  IMG_1165.jpg
Views: 3663
Size:  122.1 KB Absoultely love the rims. Could anyone help me find out which ones they are and what tires I should have for them? Also what would I have to do to get the car lowerd to that stance and look like the picture? My LS has the Air suspension option built in from 98' so I don't know if just putting springs in there would F it up or not. Also does anyone reccomended places to go to in the chicago area to get them (the rims and springs) installed? Thanks all, and love the sick pics of these cars. So dam beautiful to see people love their LS as much as I do mine.

holy 93socal, your rims do look massive for 19s. Sometimes I feel like my 19s are too small!

19x8.5 / 19x9.5 staggered 5zigen Sport Engine SC3000s, 235/35s up front and 255/35s rear, not sure of offset, bought these wheels second hand

My fenders have been seriously pulled, rolled and shaved all around. Was not easy to fit and sit like this. Make sure to have a good body person ready to help make the wheels fit under the fenders.

Hodson,
I dunno man, those really don't look like 19s especially on the early body style...
When I first saw pics, I was thinking they where 17s or 18s...

his wheels look huge because of the style of the rims. the windows on the faces of the wheels are small.. makes the face look bigger.

You've got my dream color combo lol. What kind of grille is that? and also, those are some interesting side indicators you got there.
