Default LS600 Rims on GS300

Hey guys,

A mate of mine with an IS250 got LS600 rims. He said something about the lug nut size being to small on his car to fit these rims, so he is going to give them to me.

My question is: Will it my my 2001 GS3?

a pic of the rims are attached.

Cheers,
Abs

I think the LS460/600 are 5x120 which will not fit your GS.

The bolt pattern is completely wrong. They use the 5x112 bolt pattern while ALL other Lexus vehicles (excluding SUVs) use the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. That's the reason they are cheap on eBay because they can't be outfitted on other Lexus cars. I guess you could get an adapter to convert the bolt pattern but that's an extra $300. I thought about doing this to my SC430, but decided it was too much of a headache.

Actually the new LS shares the same bolt pattern as BMW which is 5x120 not 112

I'd get adapters. They'll serve as spacers too and you can get them wheels flush. Prolly look real nice

With our cars already prone to vibrations, with spacers/adaptors you're guaranteed to have a lot of shakes. Just get something that fits.

Hey guys

Was there any change of stud patterns for the LS600H or different on the Japanese/Australian models?

I have found a set of 19" OEM wheels same as picture on OP post and the vendor claims

Wheel stud pattern -114.3 x5

Wheel width- 19x8

Wheel offset- 34mm

Im looking to buy these to fit on my LS400 stud pattern 5 x 114.3

Any help is appreciated
