Wheels

[Chasdad]

Can someone confirm ls430 wheels fit on a ls400 . Thanks

Confirmed 

LS600 wheels are the only ones which won't.

Cheers steve

As Steve said, they do fit. I had them on my LS400

hi guys so this means we can put 400 wheels on the 430 and so maybe get a softer ride?

They will fit but I can't see how they would give a softer ride.  I believe the ride in my 430 is equal to the 400's I've had.

Hi Phil That's a shame I thought they had more rubber on ... more squishiness but then I am running coil overs

Is that actually correct as im considering a 400 thst needs wheels but im also considering still buying a 430 for parts at the same time. Does that mean i could put the tatty 400 wheels on the 430 when its time  to scrap it

Someone will need to confirm it but I'm 99.9% certain.  I've actually seen an LS430 with MK4 wheels.

Where abouts are you in our tiny island Allan?  It would be interesting to sit in an LS430 with coils.

I'm in London at the mo but moving north in a month.

I have never been in one with air shocks I really hope they are not too much better or I might have to switch. 

I do have a awful squeaking coming from the rear shocks somewhere which I cant find really hoping its not the top mount as I believe they are a bugger to get to.

The car was driven and abused in Portugal so I thought the dry dusty roads could have something to do with it, I have bought a pair of anti roll bar bushes (I think they are called) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252243755028?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I am gonna change them as soon as I can When I get a new jack, GOD it ain't the easiest car to jack up (someones crushed the sill before me and I did one TBH ) the noise is getting under my skin not that anyone else really notices but I am sure you know what I mean.

Where in Sussex are you Phil

I'm in Worthing, just up the A24 from Dorking.  If you fancy I drive to the south coast let me know!  I had the same thing recently trying to find the points for getting the car in the air on a friends garage lift, lots of plastic underneath.

Worthing sounds like a nice drive Phil.

Well there you go, get it in your diary before you go northwards!
