Hey CL Im looking to get away from the ugly stock LS wheels and was wondering if the M35/45 wheels would bolt right up and clear the caliper without the use of spacers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

the 19's i believe should fit the only thing im not sure of is the hub. I think the hub center on infiniti is slightly smaller in diameter then the lexus wheels. I was also thinking of putting nissan/inifiniti wheels on mine also.

These are the 18's. I totally forgot about the hub size because I was so concerned about the calipers.

The hub size on the infiniti is 66.1 and the LS430 is 60.1. So does that mean there will shaking if i put those wheels on?

the stock 17 inch ls430 wheels are look horrible. However the 18's look alot better.
If you can find you some fairly priced 2010ish gs350 wheels those look the best and are factory lexus wheels.

No im currently running a set of M45 19" on my LS430. U will need 4 spacers (to clear those calipers), a set of longer lug(bc of those spacers), a new set of nuts (nissan rims seat are different than toyota), and 4 centric rings (eliminate the vibration) and u Good to roll, dun forget to post some pics when u done. Good luck bra

Any pics of your setup bro ? Looking for a set of M35 19" double spokes for my LS430 too.

This thread is 5 years old so doubt he will reply!

For what it's worth I'm running Infiniti wheels as well, 20" FX45:





Needed 10mm spacers in the front to clear the calipers, and added spacers in the rear to keep it looking square.
As already noted also needed hubcentric rings, new lug nuts, and longer studs

Your setup looks pretty nice bro. Now question , I'm assuming your not using the spacers with the stud built-in ? Also, what kinda the lug nuts that we need when using infiniti wheels ?

I wanted to minimize fender work with the drop, so went with the slimmest spacer I could get in front that would work, which was 10mm.
To determine this, I took a bunch of washers and slipped them over the lugs, then kept test fitting the wheel and spinning to see at what point the wheel stopped making contact with the caliper when I spun it. When it spun freely I pulled off the washers and measured the stack. In my case it was approximately just 7mm or so, so I went with a 10mm spacer to be safe.
10mm spacers dont come with the built-in stud, which meant I had to put longer ones in! I ordered h&r spacers which came with the longer studs, putting them in was not hard with the right tools.

For lugs it depends on the wheel. The old infiniti wheel takes the tapered 'acorn' lugs, where as the ls430 oem ones are the flat washer type.
i believe the m35 wheels you are looking at also uses the acorn type - the key is that you need the acorn type, but that matches with the lexus lug pitch (12×1.5). Infiniti lugs are 12x1.25 I believe so you cannot just use those.
