Big Rims!

[yotchi]

Thanks for all your help on this one geezers.

Tryed a set of GS MKII 17` 5 Spokes on her the other day.

Not big enough.  The arches swallowed up the wheels proper.

Looking at those I think I need 20`s.

I will fit 20's tomorrow. I will send photo's of difference of 18's and 20's if I can post anywhere on this site.

I fitted 20 inch, it is confortable than I thought.

I reccomend 20's if you are thinking to fit 18's or 19's.

Why not just fit a 17" tyre with a 60 profile if you want that.

Why change the wheels? I think the 17" rim on the LS looks small in the arch as it is, the 16" would look really lost.

Dunlop do a 225 X 60 X 17 Dunlop SP2750

Hi,

Im not sure of the standard size wheels and tyres on the LS430 or the optional sizes.

It would be worth finding out about though.

If you do just change profile sizes and not alloy sizes then you may find that the speedo might give a false reading eg faster or slower.

Hope that helps.

Chips is right but, on my S1 when the dash says 70 the GPS says 64/65, the ammount increase in profile discussed should only correct the car to about 66/67 GPS when the clock says 70.
