I think there could be black wheel locks on those spots, But I can't tell because it's too small.

So, is there a dark spot on each rim, where the lugnut should be?

Here is my vehicle. Again, the tires are too small (245/40-18) as they came off my SC and I will be changing them to 245/45-18 when they give out. Let me know what you guys think! Forgive the quality, it was taken on my camera phone. Enjoy!

I'm not sure who put them on their LS first... Me, or the Thread starter. Here is mine.



Check out the clearance!

Nice TJW. I know the clearance seems like it was MADE for this car. What tire sizes are you running on your LS430?

In order for the wheels to appear even with each other, you'll need a 1/2 inch spacer for the rear. For the car to be flush with the Finders, you need 15mm in the rear, and 5 mm in the front.

Could you elaborate alittle more on your suspension setup? You said your running a hybrid setup. Bags and coilovers? How does it work? What are the advantages/ disadvantages? How about cost? How would you describe the ride?
