Hi all,
I just took delivery of a 2005 LS yesterday and love it!
Now I have to face the snow. I am wondering if anyone has successfully run 15" wheels (alloy or steel) on an LS. I'm looking to put a 205/70-15 winter tire (since I have some new ones kicking around and they give me the same overall dia.).
I've done some research and found that apparently the '88-'97 Continental had a 15" wheel (at least the earlier years did) that seems to match up with the LS. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the LS rim is:
- 5x108mm lug spacing
- 63.6mm center bore
- ~35-40mm offset
My concern is that a 15" may not clear the caliper (or I may have to look at alloys only and not steel rims to get brake clearance).
Has anyone been there-done that?
