LS 500 Fsport: Tires/Wheel Suggestion
Recently picked up a Pre Owned 18 LS 500 Fsport that came with Aftermarket Wheel set up.
Car at times have vibration that can be felt on the steering and throughout the car.
I am planning to get New Tires as i personally don't like the Run flats.
Meanwhile, Would like to know following:
- Should i look into adding Hub centric rings?
- Will front fit 275/40/20 (would like to keep thicker side wall for extra comfort)

Besides the wheels, is everything regarding the suspension stock?
Whats the mileage on the car? Clean Carfax or any front end damage prior?
Prior owner went with aftermarket wheels and kept runflats?
At first glance the wheels may be out of balance? Is it the rims or something else?

Great looking ride!
You looking for staggered set up as per Fsport or same all round?
Personally I like the look of the dark chromed Fsport wheel. There is a site (Im sure someone here has the name) that fixes and rechromes wheels very well that offers the LS500 wheel. One day I might swap mine out if they need refinishing to the darker color on my Atomic Silver.
Sorry I don’t have the name. they have a swap program but also you can purchase outright.
Personally I tend to stick to a factory type wheel as they often just look “right”. Not to say there are not good aftermarket out there.
I get many want to personalize/individualize their cars to be distinct.

They seemed to be pretty light from what i can tell...Do you recommend going with the factory size tire or should i go bit wider with thicker sidewall?

I’d say if you anti RFT and one reason is the stiff drive due to sidewalls then go with the smaller size and enjoy the comfort. If performance is your goal then go wide.
