martin peat Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Sorry Knightrider-It looks as though I may have moved whilst you "snoozed" and got these wheels,yesterday for my V8 Soarer-They will look,better on my car anyway!!! A very nice Burmese man met me and I handed over a load of smackeroons for them. All I need now is a set of good tyres -245-40-ZR18's front and for the rear--275-35-ZR18",or the 245-40's can fit all round.Anybody got some lying around??? cheers,Martin;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 245-40-ZR18's front and for the rear--275-35-ZR18",or the 245-40's can fit all round.You can't put 245 section tyres on a 10" wheel. Well, you can at a stretch but I wouldn't. Why not stick with the 275/35/18 size Lexus chose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JZ-GTE-IS200 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 if anyone wants any TTE part numbers let me know , i have the full listings incidently you cannot order TTE parts with the TTE number in the uk you need the PZ part number listings, again i have these. i have direct contacts with TTE so can possibly get parts cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin peat Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Jake, In the instructions for the wheels for the LS400 it is recommended to use the 245's all round. Michael has come up with the best combination.i.e. 255-40-front and 275-35 rear,. That is what I shall now use so here's hunting and another load of smackeroons,I should have stuck to sex but I suppose at my age cars are more fun and less tiring!!

Jake Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Jake, In the instructions for the wheels for the LS400 it is recommended to use the 245's all round. I think you'll find that 245 all round is only for the standard 8½" rims. The optional extra 10" rears require a wider tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D8MOA Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 these wheels are now cheaper from a lexus dealer, works out just over 1k for a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin peat Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 In the TTE instructions,it DEFINITELY says for the LS400- 10" rears 245-40 tyres. But I am getting some 275-35's Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I contacted TTE today to see if I could buy the alloys direct They sent me back an email with the PZ codes and told me to contact my local Toyota or Lexus dealer Although they will sell me the TTE centre caps. I will not be beaten just yet as I have a german friend who is going try and get prices from them Do they actually make them or do the german company Borbet manufacture them?
