What Size Alloys Does Your Lexus Have?

[maneesh]

I agree with ya, the purple LS400 looks sweet. Even Fiestas have 15 inchers now!

[ColinBarber]

and the last one looks like the worst thing ever to have happened to a Lexus!

[ifraz]

I actually like it

kool, so we gonna see you with some new rims then? go on, you know you want some ;)

at Colin and Ifraz

In an ideal world, yes, defo would get some 20 inchers. However, would prefer to spend my cash on keeping the car in decent order...

surely you feel all the bumps with 20inchers, at least with my fiesta wheels, it's a pillow soft ride!

Hi,ive also got the standard 15" wheels on my LS400.Ive not owned her a week and im thinking of buying new wheels for her.The condition of them are very poor.Im thinking of trying my 17" on her off my old car before i buy new ones to see what the ride and grip and handling are like if they fit.I think 20" wheels will fit the 400 but would cost nearly or more than i paid for the car!

[LennyLexus]

yep 20s are very expensive, esp chromes.

Chips, get some amg style rims, go for 18"s if you can.

yes maneesh, those ls400s arent cheap to maintain are they? :D neithers the is

[maneesh]

No more expensive to maintain than any luxury car (7 series, S class etc).

But the effortless power with all that torque just makes driving nice and comfy. A Ford Puma tried to shake me down the other day - he got a real surprise from my Lexxy!

ediot (puma driver that is)

Just imagine super or turbo charging yours!!! B)

[maneesh]

imagine that, an old LS400 with a supercharger. 0-60 in 5 seconds. That would really surprise those geezers driving their scoobys :D

I read once that the actor Paul Newman bought a really old VW Beetle and dumped a massive V8 in it. He used to love shaking people down in California at the lights who thought it had a regular 1.3!

can anyone tell me what the LS400 handles like with 18" on in terms of grip,less understeer maybe in slow corners,its abit cold out there today(feeling hungover)for me to swap the wheels over(17"s) and try on the LS. :winky:

[SteveAudioX]

I just got the Standard 18" wheel option on my IS...

Compared to the Standard 17"'s I had, I feel the Dunlop tyres were far better then the Pirelli's on the 18"s.

Handling wise. The 18" feel much better, only slightly more hard in the ride, but adjusted the Tein's to compensate a little.

I like the look of these 18" they look wicked, especially with the car lowered...

Need to post a piccy when i get the car washed i think

Haven't you seen the new Fiesta RS ??

:tsktsk: That pic is bigger than I thought

Sorted now though :)

My GS300 Sport (II) Rolls on OZ Super L's with 255 x 19 x 35 's.

Bit of road noise but it looks the "Dog's". £2500 inc' tyres etc...

Sorry but the system will not let me upload a pic @ the moment, the car is however on the Gs Gallery, pg 58: "Rollin' 19's.

Have a peek & see what you think!

Has anyone been next to a Jaguar XKR Silverstone edition, 20 inch rims as standard! Makes my eyes water!!!!

[norwegian-lex]

getting new 18" aftermarked soon... just need some $$ :)

Ive got 20" with 255/35/20 on my Lexus and 22" with 285/35/22 on my Range Rover. You do feel it more so in the Range Rover no doubt cos' the car weighs as much as a tank!

[v6zxi]

17inch wheels in mine. dont really think it needs bigger ones, i know its the latest craze. even cars like saxo/fietsa got 18s......Why? they just affect performance & mess up gearing it is too big!

[SolarLexus]

On a Sportcross -

Mine aren't on there !!! I got a set of 14" Racetech, meant for some French thing, with ultra low-profile rubber bands on 'em (205/60/R14, Bridgestones - I'd like Yokohama but I get what I can afford !!) tends to file the bolt-ends off the exhausts on sleeping policemen but it makes the acceleration really something!!! Had to get the speedo recalibrated though!!
