The rims will fit, but the stock RX tires will not

Here's a pic of a CL member's LS with the wheels. I have a set of four or five if you are interested.

Oh man - that looks hot. Is that lowered too? I think I like those better than the 18" LS430 wheels.

I've only had my car for a few months and I gotta ace those 16s!!!

Anyone know who's LS400 this is? I want to give the proper credit and not just say a CL member. I copied the pic a long time ago froma search because I was buying a set of the RX330 wheels for my LS. I ended up going with IS wheels instead.

Bringing this thread back...

Will the RX330s fit a 99 LS4? I know it fits the first gen, but will it clear the brakes on the 2nd gen?

I'd like to know that also being that I have a '99 as well. The only thing that concerns me is the width - they are awfully skinny for 18" wheels... at least they look skinny to me when I see them on an RX330.

i dont think they will clear the LS brakes either. Not to mention, tire is 7inch wide... not the best choice for an 18incher.

Thanks, I thought about the width too. I figured it would be kind of goofy looking. LS430's might look better anyway. I've seen them on a car on the forums before.

Oh hey Moe, nice new sig
