Please use the search feature in the forum before opening a new thread. This question was already asked/answered in an older thread.

You will find that the answer is no. The BC is different on the 460.

no,it wont fit.
the bolt pattern on the LS460 is different.
I believe the LS460 P.C.D. is 5X120 and the LS430 is 5X114.3 ,correct me if im wrong.

You COULD technically get an adapter to "change" your bolt pattern and get the 460 wheels. I thought about doing this to my SC430 and getting LS460 wheels which would definitely set me apart, but the cost is pretty extreme. I might do this down the road, but right now I'm very happy with my setup. Just my two cents

the bolt spacing is different. if some dude on your block has them then he has some adapters which are prolly like 200$ (not to bad but still 200$) which change the spacing of the 5 bolts that stick out that the wheels get mounted on. trust me even if they look like they will fit if its not correct they won't... i tried a few years back and failed epically,,, not 460 to 430 actually 114.3 to whatever the benz spacing is.... very close but fail...

Like I said above YOU NEED ADAPTERS to change the bolt pattern to conform to the 460 wheels. The LS430 pattern is 5x114.3 while the 460 is 5x120 (I think). You need an Adapter to change the bolt pattern. People have complained that adapters won't give you the same ride quality though.

well i think i know why those guys might be running around with the ls460 rims... i saw replica rims on ebay about atleast half a year ago. it looked liked the ls460 rims with 5x114 bolt pattern. that would be my guess.

I hear what your saying , but I went up to the guy and asked did you need any adaptor or anything different to fit these wheels on he said no don't listen to the dealer or any fool that tells u different I could believe it I took picture on my boost phone and I'm mad i sold it or I would have posted picture next time I'm in Brooklyn I will take picture and. The sat flush on his car.. unless it a replica and it damn sure looks close to stock. But he also asked me if I know anyone with 460 wheels because he has another Ls 400 in the making.

Yeah they would definitely have to be just a similar looking wheel or replica like u say, cuz there is now way getting around a different bolt spacing, even when it is extremely close and not even noticible to the human eye like a few years back lex to mb spacing. And the 460 pattern is a huge difference compared to the 430.
