Problem About Finding Rims

[LS978]

Hi huys, I am new member in this club. I got a year 2000 LS400. I trying to find a 17" or 18" rims, but I didn't know what is the offset of this car. Does anyone got idea about the offset? :)

Offsets on wheels for the LS400 would be 38-45 offsets.

On a 18x8.5 wheel, I would go with a offset of 42-45.

It is a 5 bolt pattern with 114.3 spacing.

What wheels are you thinking of getting, if your going aftermarket, I would go with Racing Harts, Volks Racing, or Lowenharts

sc430 wheels will fit with a spacer, and look great

My apologies if I sound stupid :iraqi-info-minister: But whats an offset ?

I've been looking for some SC430 wheels for my 1992 Ls400 (bit like tryin to find rocking horse S***), you've got me a little worried now - why is a spacer needed and if I do find some wheels, where can I get these spacers ?

[Monster-Mat]

the spacer can be got from any good wheel shop...im not possitive you will need a spacer, theres nothing to worry about there a common accesoiry are spacers.

there was a set of sc430 rims going on eBay

Offset is the difference between the centerline of the rim and this same bolt flange. Zero offset is defined as the condition where the bolt flange is exactly aligned with the center of the rim.
