I'd consider it but you're too far away.

If only my LS could transform into a boat....

They look pretty good to me. You should go for it. It gives your car a nice stance.

Thanks! I need to work on the rear, trying to drop it lower but the struts are max'd out and i don't wanna see any tire in the rear haha.....My friend is not moving on selling these wheels i'll convince him soon enough if not there's plenty of clean wheels out there.

The rear height isn't too bad. It still looks good. What kind of coilovers are you using?

Hopefully your friend will change his mind. If not, there are tons of wheels that would look great on your car. It's hard to go wrong on the 04-06 body style LS. Just about anything looks good.

I'm running BC coilovers and the rears are maxed out but the fronts have a ton of room left to drop.
This might change also leaning towards something different.

I thought BC Coilovers got way lower than that? That looks similar to Tein CS coilovers maxed out but everyone says the BC's go way lower than Tein CS...

I thought so to that's why i bought them haha but it's alright they still ride good, I've seen a bunch of LS's on BC and they are dumped!! not sure if they're messing with the spring perch (which i don't wanna mess with) or the strut adjustment. I'mma switch suspension in the future anyways so this is ok for now. fyi I talked with BC and they sell the shorter struts for the rear

Thanks!! They're two version of BC's I didn't get the EXTREME DROP KIT which was my mistake.
haven't heard much of the z40 coils but GL hope it does drop lower than mines do right now.

The extreme drop version has 20mm shorter dampers than their normal line. Working with a vendor that knows what they're doing makes this much easier. BC will make you whatever you want, 20-40-60-80mm shorter etc... Handy info when it comes time to rebuild the coilovers.
