Yes they will. You can always try a search on everyone's fave online auction site.

Don't have any pics yet...I need to get a digital camera 1st. Here's another CL member who has them on his '93: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=sc430+wheels

Do they go right on, offsets etc? What about ride quality? I don't want the car to ride any differently.

Yup, they go right on...not sure what the offsets are. Ride quality obviously won't be the same due to it being a heavier, wider wheel on low profile tires...you tend to feel bumps in the road a little more, but it still maintains the Lexus quality ride and adds more traction and better handling IMO.

SC430 offset is 45mm
93/94 LS400 offset is 50mm.

5mm (per side) difference doesn't seem a lot. But I think an alignment is a must.

What about the tire wear rating, what tires are recommended?

Everest you reply the 93/94 LS400 offset is 50mm as noted above-but the offset in question is for a 1990 LS400.I also would like to know the specs for the 1990 Thanks!
