Rims Set Up Question: +15MM / 5x120 / 18x8
I have LS 460. If I am correct, the Specs Are:
Bolt Pattern: 5x120 | Center Bore: 60.1 | Offset: 20-25mm
I have an opportunity to get nice of TSWs.
Bolt Pattern: 5x120 | Center Bore: 74.1 | Offset: 15mm
They were on a RWD bimmer, but bolt pattern is the same 5x120. Would I have get get 74.1 to 60.1 hub rings?
Also I am not sure about the offset. These are 18x8 Rims with +15MM. Would I have get longer bolts and mainly would they rub the fenders?
Thanks.

its nooo way 18 inch rims gonna rub fenders unless your drop to the weeds! however you need those rings you mention to kill vibration. i doubt you need longer studs and if you did they dont make any.. ( been there done that). why u wanna rocks 18's i would atleast get 20's, but not here to judge aslong as your happy. post pics

Have you researched using this thread? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...52#post7574952
I dont believe anyone is running that low of an offset.. get the OEM 19s with a 5mm akata hub centric spacer or go 20, 21, or 22...I wouldn't do the 18s..but please review that thread so you can learn about what works with pics

I'm betting a 15mm offset will extend beyond fender and look a little funny..stock offset is 32mm..but, if that is the look the OP is going for, go for it..if he wants to stay 18...perhaps the 18" LS460 Telios wheels is an option to pursue

CJITTY, the stock offset is 20-25mm. Its a RWD and not AWD model.
I did some research and other than 74.1-to-60.1 hub-rings, I won't need anything else.
Mainly was going to stay with 18, because I have almost brand new 18-tires on stock LS rims. The car is being used daily and in winter anything above 18 would suck. (Got to keep high profile for the snow/ice).
But now, I've decided to go a different way. An opportunity just came my way and I think I am going to sell my 460LS-RWD and get 460LS-AWD that is 2 years newer and has about 30K miles less.
I posted a picutre of the TSW rims, if anyone is curios/interested. (Incredibly light and so durable).
Thanks everyone for the info.

Here is the link, showing the offset is 20-25mm - F&R - for RWD LS.
http://www.streetdreams.org/wheel/fi...exus/LS-460/1/
I've been using this site for years as a reference. So far not one problem with fitment. However tire-rack is showing offset around 30/35MM - F&R.
I actually thought that Lexus would be similar to bimmers: For Example 5 series E60-RWD will have around 15-20MM, but E60-AWD will have about 30-35MM.
It seems that I was wrong.

whatever wheel you choose, test fit on the car before mounting a tire on it..you will own that wheel for good if you mount a tire and then try to return it
I know i promote the hell out of this thread, but I know for a fact it has helped many members https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ls-thread.html
