Are they a direct fit? What about the emblems?

Both share the 5x114.3 pattern. Nissan/Infinity have a hub bore of 66.2 while Lexus is 60.1. You will need a hub ring.

I found 6 of these on craigslist for $400 w/o tires. Sold two for $100 each. I had to drive 6 hours to get home with them, but that went pretty fast in the LS.

Those definitely give the LS400 a sportier look. What is the make & size of those wheels? Did they fit on without any spacers, modifications?

those are stock 2006+ IS250/350 18s.
the stock front wheels should clear the front brakes on a 95-00 LS400 just fine. Tire sizes (stock) are off though i believe, too small.

They are off an ISx50. Those wheels are staggered so I put to 4 rear wheels on 18x8.5 +50. The IS Front wheels are 18x8 +45.

They fit fine until I put some fat tires on so I had to put on a 5mm spacers in the front.

I meant to say that I found them on Craigslist. Also, the car is lowered about 1.75 inches (though I didn't measure).

LS430 18"

they fit fine, wasnt my first choice, but you cant be picky looking for used wheels.

happyg711, thanks for the pics bro. Looks good but I don't know if it's for me. I think I'm feeling the 17" six spokes.

I lifted this thread from the 430 section, if you want replicas, this is the discussion on them:
