Default question on rims (different type of question)

so i have always loved the alpina turbine style rims, but I'm just wondering if it will fit a lexus LS? it is meant for the 7 series BMW so I'm thinking that the offset and bolt pattern could be the same. i wanna do something different to my lexus so i just wanted to ask. these are the rims id be looking at and if possible could someone photoshop them on a http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/ca...ationFlag=true

Sale is only for 2 so I guess youd be running these on the rear, and finding a set for the front. The bolt pattern is correct. We need to find out the offset and hub diameter to confirm fitment. You may be able to run those tires at stock height.

7 series wheels are more aggressive than 460 wheels as far as offsets. They may not fit right in the wheel wells

Front offsets on the 21" bmw wheels are usually 22mm..they should fit

Rear 21x10 bmw wheels usually run 25 or 28mm offset..which coold cause some issues in the rear. I have 22x10.5 with 305/25 tire and 38 offset and it rubs on hard dips but not when stock height

Use willtheyfit.com to compare stock LS with BMW setups. .I considered using the 21" 5 star bmw setup

Similar to my setup. You'll need to run a stretch tire. 245 probably.
