I did this job a few weeks back - not the most fun thing to do on your day off thats for sure but was a whole load cheaper than taking it somewhere and pay to have it done.
Spacers wont sort out the problem because an offset of +35 will come out towards the arch 3mm FURTHER than an offset of +38 assuming the width of the wheels is equal. Whats the standard width and offset and the new wheel width and offset?
Unless the wheel is already close to the lip of the arch (which I beleive it won't be) then I can't see you having a problem. Nearly all aftermarket alloy wheels that look good have a much lower offset than stock.
I've got a standalone Satnav as well as Tomtom mobile so thats not an issue. I was simply interested in upgrading the dash of the car really. I would have thought that it wouldn't have been much more difficuilt that replacing the CD player with an aftermarket head unit but it sounds like there is more too it than that.
Ahh well if you don't ask.... an all that!
Hey all, my 96 LS400 has the standard CD changer... what I'd like to know is what LS400's came with a SatNav and what would be required to fit one to my car? Has anyone done this before?

Hi all,
my 96 LS400 didn't come with the Air Filter intake pipework... its the part that goes across the front of the car and directs the air towards the air filter. I beleive there should also be a cover that goes on the battery side as well??
My EGR pipe is split and sounds similar to pinking. Its not possible to hear it at low throttle but very distinct when loading the engine up more. I wouldn't rule out an exhaust leak.
How is the base timing set on these engines as maybe that would be something to check if your convinced its pinking.
