Default LS400 wheels

Hi i'm hoping someone can answer this question for me. I have a 1990 lexus ls400. I bought it from someone about a year ago and I recently became aware the he switched the stock ls400 wheels with es300 wheels. The two front wheels have spacers on them. So I'm wondering is this a bad set up or is it ok to leave it as it is? I have no knowledge with this stuff so I'll appreciate any help thanks.

Make sure you have at least 8 complete rotations of the lug nut on the stud. I assume there are no vibrations. If those 2 things check out then there's nothing to worry about.

since it's a '90, you should be able to run it just fine without the spacers...

Thanks everyone. I'll have to check and see if the bolt make 8 revolutions. As far as the spacer a mechanic told me it was making a scraping or rubbing sound without them.
