Default LX470 Rims on LS400?

Will rims from a 2000 LX470 fit on a 96 LS400?

nope, not a chance, PCD is different.
5x150 vs. the LS400's 5x114.3

they can be found, but generally are at LEAST 20-30mm deep, which would give you too low an offset to run in the front since the LX470 is already 8.5 +30.

The LS460 as well has a different drilling. You can use the range of LS wheels from '95-'07. Some of the 3-GS wheels will work too if that car came with the big calipers.

Right.

I was more of less referring to what PD had mentioned earlier. My fault for not asking a good question lol.

So, would the offset of the LS460 wheels after adapters make it too aggressive to run as well?

Brand New from Lextasy. Bottom of page. (Personally some of the worst customer service I've EVER received.)

You can always try craigslist. There's a lot of stuff on there.
