I was thinking they were thin but it still looked "right",... Then I saw these are 20's and not 19's. Wouldn't you rub if you went much taller? A 245/35-20 sits at 26 3/4" if I'm doing my math right. That's a far cry from the stock ~25 1/2".
I'm thinking it would rub at some point on the inner parts, but then again I'm still getting in to the LS thing.

I was looking at 225/35/20s all around.
Are you running the same or similar offsets as I am?
What do you think of the size above all around?

my car will have a good bit more clearance than you, but the front will be closer than the rear, and the problem i described will likely effect you in the front anyways. 245/35 is just going to be that TINY bit too large in the front so you'll rub a LOT on the inner plastic fender liner when you're turning/parking.
my tires are on my 20x9j +30 and 20x10.5j +12.

I have another pair of wheels 20x10 et 0 with standard disk and is on 245/30/20 also. It sticks out like this...
I know I will need to do some more rolling and pulling but can I get away with 225/35/20s?

225/35 on a 10 isnt worth it for you because your rear wheels arent NEARLY aggressive enough for that much stretch. will work well on the front.

Wow! I totally missed this thread. For the door panels, did you remove the stock door panels or did you put them over them? Where did you get the JP exhaust? It's the same one I have on my GS but I had the piping redone to fit since it was off a UCF10. I thought the Type 2 was discontinued. I like the grill a lot but the eyelids kill it for me.
I like the AME AX on your car a lot but the rear stance looks awesome on those 0 offset wheels. If you're going to repaint the car you might as well do a little pulling and fender work to fit them. I'd like to see your car in person once you get it painted.
Oh yeah, that kit might be off Freddie's old LS400 from AutoFashion. I heard he sold his beloved JP UCF10 to someone who didn't love it as much as he did.

Thanks! For the door panels, I removed the stock door panels. A lot of working hours have been spent on just fitting the door panels which was the disappointing part of the "authentic" Junction Produce kit 
I got the JP exhaust with mid-pipes on YAJ and the rest of the car's accessories. They are discontinued but nothing is ever discontinued on YAJ
When I saw the eyelids on the auction, they looked nice and perfect. But when I got them in person, I thought they were too big and thick. I might modify them to lessen the aggressiveness of the looks.
I will do more fender works to make the wheels fit good.
I was checking out old pictures of AutoFashion's UCF10/11 when I was fitting the kit and it looked like everything lined up from their car. But, when I installed it on my car, the door panels sticks out 10~15mm outward from the sideskirts
The guy I bought the kit from definitely did not take good care of the car as the front and rear bumpers were damaged when I got them
Hopefully I get the car painted by September, before the Pursuit meet.
You have a nice car as well!
