All I'm saying is Ive noticed more attention from police since putting these wheels on.
I live in suburbs too what county are you in ? I work in Montgomery and Iive in Frederick . We have 20 % on Gs that I drive 60 miles round trip and the tint has been on this car for over 4 years . I also drive the sc with no front tag for over a year

I live in Rockville and work in Silver Spring. Picked up a silver 2005 UL that I have slammed with the datacontroller as a daily. I'm out in my S8 and S4 when I want to go fast...

As for tires, you'd just want to keep the same rolling diameter as the stock set, or at least close to it. I'm guessing that would be around 245/45/18 ish

Thanks, yeah thats in the plan. Im making a set of front "youzealand" style spacers to get the front down alittle. Just ordered alittle taller tires. And springs will probably be in the near future.

Does anyone have a picture of an ls430 on 18s, lowering springs and the youzealand kit?

Default updated with 245/45/18 tires and front "youzealand" style spacers
Here are some pictures of my car with the new 245/45/18 tires instead of the old 225/45/18s and the front youzealand type kit.
I have alittle rubing in the front if i go over a decent size dip...

I think the fitment looks better, The wheel/tire combo doesn't look so small now IMHO.

After
