They are 20" wheels. Guy wants $600. I don't know how wide the are, but the tire says 275/40/20.

The wheels would be going on a 90 ls400. Soon I'm. Gona lower it as well and get a new paintjob.

That is a very wide tire for a 1-LS. Conservative spec would be a 9.5" wide rim but it can be stretched to 10.5 or so. Initially I would say do not buy. In addition, this will be a pretty heavy combo to deal with. Roughly, this is a 28.7" diameter.

I know its wide. Needs new tires anyway. Thought bout rolling and pulling the front and rear so it'll fit better. And the replace the tires with 255/35/20. I'm going for the hellaflush fitment.

They are a good looking wheels. Might want to correct the title of your thread. It's "these" not "thies".

I didn't even notice that.. I can't change it cuz I only use my phone and the moble version doesn't offer the edit option.

if they came off a gs300 they should fit, however the question is, was that car lowered? as soon as you lower your car on these wheels, you'll run into clearance problems.

if you're doing this for the hella flush fitment, these wheels may not get you there. they will get you dub fitment for sure.

LS and GS have different fitments. But if its conservative it shouldnt be a problem.

I'm not lowering it right now any way. I do want to lower it, but idk if I'm gona slam it or not. At stock highth, I bottem out on speed bumps out here. Crap is crazy high! Steep drive ways also! I do prefer to ride low. That's why I'm also looking at some XXR 522 +20 offset 18x8.5 wheels.
