My advise is to find a shop with Hunter GSP9700 machine. Go to http://www.wheelexchange.com/ and click on wheel&tire packages link. You will be able to search by zip code to see who in your area has this machine. What this machine does is it applies pressure to the wheel with a roller to closely simulate this particular wheel/tire combination on the road. And make sure you drive the car for about 1/2 hour or so prior to having the wheel balancing done in order to warm the tires up and make sure it is not the flatspot problem that is causing the vibration, which usually goes away once the tires are warmed up if your tires flatspot overnight or over several hours the car is parked. Good luck. By the way, what kind of tires did you put on the wheels...

Hello CL members

I have a 2003 LS430 Ultra (with 5k miles) and I was thinking of going with 19's also. I too like many others are quite concerned about the quality of the ride. I love smooth ride that I presently have with the 17's. Also since my car has an air suspension, I don't know if I would have to lower my car. I am also not sure if it can be lowered without voiding the warranty on the car

Derrick at D2AUTOSPORT.com has been outstanding in educating me and helping my find the perfect combination of rim and tire for my car.

I am looking at going with Euroline DH (chrome or polished) 19x9fr / 19x10rr in what Derrick says is called a “staggered fitment” on Toyo T1-S.

Below is a picture of what the car would look like on what I believe are 19's, my apologies if they are not.

I would appreciate any feedback anyone could supply on going with 19's and the ride quality and also whether or not I shoud go with polished or chrome. Thank you

i think having staggered setup on the LS is the right way to go, that way the car looks so much nicer and it grips better, it gets my choice

about the ride, you are going to suffer a bit for sure coz' the low profile tires on the 19s. the good thing is you have air suspension. i rode on the UL before already, drove it for a while. the suspension is soft. i think if you get 19s, what happens is you will hear some boom boom sound when going over uneven road, but the ride is still very comfortable. that's just my guess

though of course, if you lower it it would be so much nicer

about exhaust, i really dn't know. you should make a post in the LS forum
