Default Several wheel questions about my LS400

For all the guru's from a first time Lexus owner will the new 19x8 LS460L wheels fit on a 1998 LS400. Lug pattern is 4.5 inches and I was wondering if anybody knew if the wheels and a stock fitting tire wouldn't rub or cause any issues. Also would the wheels look good with suspension stock would love to keep the ride of the car but add those OEM wheels. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome
+1, nope. Do you have a snap of your ride?

Our resident expert PD, will say search. Saved him for doing that.

Definitely will not fit. I actually thought about putting the factory 19" LS460L wheels on my LS400 as well until I found out the lug pattern was different. I was also told by Lexus mechanics at my work that adapters could be an option...but I went with 18" LS430 wheels instead and I'm really happy with them! I took this pic a few days ago just to give you an idea with the 430 wheels.

gee thanks guys

adapters are an option but just make sure you add (well, subtract) the minimum 15mm for adapters from the stock LS460 wheel offset and see if you need to roll your fenders or not.

Thanks! I lowered her with H & R springs but it's been quite a few years so she probably sagged a bit. I've heard megan coilovers were the way to go now a days but these H & R springs have done me very well! Very comfortable/stock ride feel considering how low it is. Thanks again for the compliment.

Those pictures remind me of my old 99. I really miss that car.
