Question Question about the LS series

After a bunch of research it appears that the only Lexus wheels that will fit the oversize 4-piston calipers on the 1995-2003 LS series is another 1995-2003 LS wheel. There are some aftermarket wheels with "high caliper clearance" that will work. If anyone has actually mounted another specific model/year of Lexus wheel please say something. I am limiting my shopping to LS wheels otherwise

This is a post I got at another board:

Is he right about the brake clearance issue?

1Sick,

2nd & 3rd generation LS do use a 4 piston caliper which are huge. GS uses a 2 piston caliper. So, regardless to what the bolt pattern is your pretty much limited to what wheels you can use when swapping wheels between lexus models. They have to clear the caliper.

Here are some threads:
