Default E60 M5 Wheels

Anyone ever seen an LS400 run these wheels?


I have a chance of trading my Style 95s + $400 for these type of M5 wheels. I've seen everyone and their grandma run Style 95s on a Lexus, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a Lexus with these?
If so, post in the comments. I'd love to see some setups with these.

I personally haven't seen any, but they look really good. I'm sure they'd look great on a LS. Especially with the concavity of them.

Oh they do look good. I just picked up the set I found. Worth the hour drive. With 25mm adapters, the rears will fit perfectly with a fender roll (19x9.5 +24). Problem is the fronts stick out about 1.2 inches with a fender roll with 25mm spacers since they're 19x8.5 +12. Might end up redrilling them and get rid of the spacers on the front since they have more than enough room to clear the brakes and will not have to do major fender work to make them fit.

This is how the rear sits with 25mm adapters. Also have not rolled my fenders yet. So with a roll to flat + a little bit outwards, it should sit perfectly.

I actually like those more than the style 95'. Please post pictures once you get them on.

Will do. Everything is set, I'm just waiting on tyres to arrive. Could be anywhere between a week-2 weeks.

this should look tasty! get em on, pronto!

just be aware it is very VERY hard to roll flat the quarter panels as they are double thick metal. most usually suggest shaving the metal instead. just a heads up.

Mounted
Still in the process of pulling the fenders in the front and I know they're uneven and clunky, but it's a work in progress.

These wheels look good! The front is aggressive to my eyes so depends how much pull-shave to fit them. Good work!

Front IS pretty aggressive, but it's gotten more flared out since the photos. Still not fully good all around, but I'm figuring out on how to go about it without cracking paint. If I end up cracking it, might just make custom arches and repaint it

From my perspective a redrill then you'll get that 1" back. If you've already massaged the fender, it still might work well as is.

It should, but I would still need a 5-10mm spacer as the wheels don't clear the brakes 100%.
And for the price of extended lugs and redrilling, I could pretty much flare them out as much as I want to and repaint it if it cracks. It would be more efficient this way anyways in case I decide to fit wider wheels later down the road.
