i have an 02 LS430 i have asanti AF125 rims. I got them from a friend to see if they fit then id buy them from him. He had them on an infiniti M45.

I cant find the offset anywhere on the rim. they are 20's. 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear. It seems that the front rims hit the brake caliper. Is there anyway i can run spacers and extended wheel studs in the front, or somehow send the rims back to asanti to change the offset. because if i can make them fit i would be very happy because im getting them practically for free.

asanti can't help you, unless you change the face. you can run spacers/adapters. not recommended but that's your call

 

H&R or project KICs spacers. 15mm H&R spacers come with extended studs/bolts.

 

Practically free is a good price. The problem isn't the offset of the wheels, it's the disc. Most manufacturers of 3 piece wheels let you choose if you want high disc for big brake clearance, medium or low disc. Weds gives you 4 choices of disc.

Buy some KICS bolt on spacers once you measure how much more clearance you need in the front.

 

ok cool thanks guys, that was my next question how i find out how much space i need.

 

jack up the car, and place washers in back of the wheel until the wheel turns freely, its an easy way to measure how much of a spacer you will need..you should have about a 2mm gap/clearance just to be safe, but i have seen people use as little as 1mm gap, if you only need a 3-5mm spacer you might be able to use your factory studs, but you need to have about 7-9 complete turns of the lug nut to be safe. or you may go with a small spacer and grind part of the brake caliper or back of the wheel...

 

generally you need 15mm to clear the calipers.
