I don't know what they are called but they look exactly like the one on this GS - but high polished finish & bigger lips.

Tires are Michelin Pilot 295/25R and Nitto Invo 255/30F. If I goes with these I think I need to run 245/30F and 260/30 with a shave in the back and a roll in the front. What do you guys think?

The offsets are pretty aggressive and as i was lowering the car via the DS module i had to stop at level 3 because the tire was going to hit the fender. I'm thinking if I shave the rears it can sneak in...if it does that will be perfect so i can get some use out of these Michelins. The tires on the rear are pretty fat with a 295 so I'm thinking the wheel may be 22x10. I wish i took a damn picture. I'll see if the guy will let me do another test fit.

Back to the top,
Was anyone able to figure this out?
I just bought an LS460, and previously had BMW E38 with over 5 sets of wheels on it;
I would never guessed they both use 5x120, otherwise I would throw MY old alpinas on the LS I just sold them for 2k with tires,
I still have 19 inch M-parallel wheels I can throw on LS just to see the fitment, if anyone is interested.

what do you want to know?

ls460 and bmw share the same bolt pattern. for 7 series wheels, usually they are on the more aggressive side, so might need some fender work when put on the ls460

im in the same situation with getting some wheels from 650 rears are flush with a huge lip the front stuck out but i was able to get new barrels since they are 2 piece waiting on barrels to do a test fit hopefully i can get by with a roll in the front and rear... n be good... these were 22x9.5 in the front and 10.5 in rears. i would be happy if i didnt plan on lowering but that is a must !!

I just want some E65 7 series sport 21 inch wheels.
Not sure how close I came to size of 21, but you get the idea:
