Default 2-IS wheels- Would these fit?

http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/pts/3901080860.html

Will this work on my '99? Stock suspension. Per seller they are 8-inch wide and 45mm offset. I'm assuming same bolt pattern on our LS.

I have tires that are 235/55/17.

Any thoughts on the price? Does not come with center caps.

Looking to replace my chromes -- have some pitting now.

Looks good to me PCD,Offset and tire size is fine.
I run 17 x 8s with 235/45/17s up front and 255/40/17s at the rear and there is plenty of arch clearance with standard suspension set up.

Yes, IS wheels from the 2-IS+ will fit. That is also included in the FAQ info.

235/55-17 is tall at 27.2". The diameter you are after is 26.2". Some variance is tolerable so these will just have more sidewall and your speedo will be on the low side.

Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it.

Any thoughts on the asking price? I really dont know what's fair.

I like to run my tires a little taller to reduce RPM a little at highway speeds. I have the GPS to show me the correct speed anyway.

Looking for these wheels as well. People ask ~$400+ for them

I found a set without tires for $200, but seller is not responding.

Curious to see how they look on the LS.
