Will 18" SC430 Wheels fit on 2nd Gen LS400?
HI,
I know this quest has come up before and they can fit a first gen ls400, but can someone please tell me a definite answer of whether the 18" rims from sc430 will fit on a 95-97 LS400 or not?
I have heard both yes and no from diff people and just want to be sure before I go out and buy a set for my car.
Someone who is 100% sure please gimme an answer!
If it does fit, what is the correct tire size that I should get? Is it 235/50/18?
THanks

It's not the tire size, but it's the wheel itself. The 2nd gen LS got 4 piston calipers in the front versus 2 pistons caliper on the SC430. Those rims will fit the 1st gen LS with not problem because they have 2 pistons caliper too. But the SC430 wheels will not clear the brake calipers on 2nd gen.

with the 235-50-18 u absolutely no need to lower ur car..(that's what I hv now)
anywayz, even u want to drop it's can't be done with those tire size.. go with 245-45-18 if u want to drop the car.
btw I thought only 98-02 LS equip with bigger caliper compare to 95-97 LS..
tks ^^

Depending on caliper size, the 17s that come on the new(er) LS430s might fit the '95-97 LS400s...
I don't know if the LS430s have 2 or 4-pot calipers though.
Anyone, anyone? Buehler?

They used the same brake set up from 95-00 with 4 pistons in the front. The LS 430 still use the 4 pistons, but difference designed and added 2 pistons designed on the rear.
The 17" rims from the new LS will fit perfectly on the 95-97 LS.
