Default Veritek's LS400 New Wheels and a Drop!

Ok, so Bing got some AME Shallens for his LS400!

I do not know the particulars as far as the offsets are for these wheels but I believe that they are 20” x 9” up front and 20” x 10” in the rear. He is also running L-Sportline Springs with Billstein Shocks.

Check out how much stuff we were able to stuff in the LS!





I guess you can call Shin (CarbonIS – CarbonAltezza) and me (CarbonGS) the pit crew and the overflow cars. We were not able to fit all 6 tires in the LS with the wheels so Shin put 4 in his IS





And I had one in my GS!



One last look of the 98 LS400 before the drop and new wheels.

We took the cars over to Kauffman tire of Alpharetta off GA400 and Windward Parkway so that our friend Mikey could take care of the install. I also got an alignment while I was there! Very great pricing if I may add! Lol



The car went up on the lift and took awhile before it was done. Good thing I was there since the installer didn’t know how to remove the rear seats to reach the strut towers. He was online for like 20 minutes until I realized what he needed then I said gimme the socket and took it out myself! Lol

We had a mini photo shoot with the AME Shallens and new suspension installed. Check it out! It was rainy but we are hardcore like that!

Looks pretty good! 100 x more aggressive with the 20s on it.

How does it ride with the suspension back on and the 20s?

I am kind of tired of seeing this kit myself , i feel like i see it every single day LMAO ...kidding.

Something about it just seems off . I personally love that wheel just not in chrome as i am thinking about it for a next set but in a machined finish.

Probably the height that is throwing me off. Change the color and drop it and it is a winner.
