Black Friday had me pull the trigger on TE37 reps for $400. 18x8.5+35 F/18x9.5+24 R. I know there will be a bit of work needed in the rear with coils, but any recommended tire size especially in the rear? I was thinking 225/45F and 235/45R, as 255 sounds a bit too meaty to me in the rear, and I want to try to avoid fender work.

Did a test fit after finally settling on some fifteen52 Tarmacs 18x9.5. I was tempted to get some cheap reps, but found these for $300 with tires on CraigsList.
Cryo-stops in the back, Cryo Slotted in the front.
PBMax Coils and Serial Nine everything else.
Dropping it about 2 inches this week after I finish the radiator and thermostat install.

That black looks really nice. I wish I was able to find a clean black one when I was looking, if I buy again it would be a black or white 98-00.

Nice Limited Edition Supra in the background.

Did you use adapters to get those wheels to work?

I would assume that he would have had to. I think that only OE LS460 lug nuts would work on these wheels too. It would be nice to have some more info! I tried doing the same thing with my 99 LS and 460 wheels but ended up going aftermarket

He's claimed that he isn't running adapters in previous posts... not sure how that's possible?

Ethan and I'mStock- LS460 bolt pattern is 5x120. So, yea, adapter is needed. You can find adapters with built in lug/bolts to change the OEM bolt patterns. Thats how some guys run Bentley wheels on their VIP builds.

They could have been re-drilled.

Simple question for those running Final Konnexion coils: Are the UCF10 and UCF20 versions interchangeable? I'm seeing a few used listings marked for the 20, but according to an eBay ad that keeps showing a haggard set, they work for both. I already know that 90% of coils intended solely for the UCF20 will not work with the UCF10, but if Final Konnexion is, I'm pulling the trigger on a set I found.

This is the best-looking Lexus. Good taste man.

Love those wheels! Do you know if they are available in either the stock 16 or a 17 inch size so I'd basically have the same look of my car but with those beautiful wheels?

The wheels above are factory LS460 wheels, and only come in 18" sizes (& 7.5" wide?). Also the lug nut seats are mag/flat type, and wider than most. I believe that only OEM LS460 or LX570 lug nuts sit properly in the seats. Someone, PLEASE correct me if im wrong.
This also means that not only does the PCD change, but so does the lug diameter, m12 to m14?
Putting 460 wheels on a 400 is not rocket science, but its also not a super straight-forward swap. I was in the middle of getting that swap dialed in myself, but stopped when I found a good deal on a set of aftermarket wheels that fit even better.
