Default 91 LS 400 on 20inches

For anyone who own a 91 LS rolling on 20inches and upgraded suspension...would it be possible to speak on a 1 on 1 basis via telephone or e-mail. I have questions and doubts to discuss. Any help would be appreciated.

Please reach me @ 1-209-652-2598
or jmatsu@sbcglobal.net

Thanks!

Are you sure those are real BBS? They look like fake 3-pcs wheel.

Well they have the BBS center cap and came in the origional boxes. But just interested, why do you think that they would be fake--maybe I got ripped off.

Cuz on the back of the wheels I didn't see any rivets(rivets hold the center to the outer rim).......So I don't think they are real 3-pcs.

I have a question. How much did you get your BBS for? And how wide are they?

Hey,

I got them used actually for $1,350. I don't know the width off-hand but I'd have to go measure them. The tires I am going to get are 245/35/20 's.

I think that's a fair price if they are in good shape

Yeah, I do as well. 2 of them have approx. a 3 inch scuff but other than that they are looking pretty good.

If you go with 20 x 8.5 front and back they will fit perfect. I have 20 x 10 front and back and I have slight problems doing U Turns but I don't scrape normally, also remember I have a modiffied body so 20 x 10 won't fit most LS's but I think all LS's would never have a problem with 20 x 8.5. I also think that 18's and 19's are too small for an LS, and if you want to drop your car then go with 19's, I'm not too sure if 20's would hit if you drop the car.

UCF10/11 can fit 20x10.5 in the back even if the car is lower.

Not without any rubbing they won't.
