GS430 17" rims on a 92" SC400?
Anyone know if the OEM 17" wheels from the GS430 fits on a 92" SC400? I think the offset is the same (+50mm) but how about the center hub? Basically, will it fits without any modification or addition hardwares?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, though it might look better to get the 98-2001 17" GS rims. I personally think they look better... But you know what they say about opinions..

What's the difference? isn't it all OEM 17" rims from the GS are the same/similar (5 spokes)?

the 03 rims are different, try this...
btw, this is the chrome version so you can figure what the regular silver version looks like...

Ok, kinda off topic but I've been noticing this a lot.....why do a lot of manufacturers use 7 spoke rims? Obviously, 7 is not divisible by 360, so for me its just not pleasing to the eye (especially with exposed lugs). Some side always looks a little off to me. I like 5 and 6 spokes. Just a little something to think about.

So what color is your SC? I put the GS rims on my 95 red 400 that is used as a daily driver and it makes it stand out in the crowd. Almost makes it look like a new car , at least to me. Just realize that the ride quality will go down going from 16's to 17's. I didn't think it would go down much, but just a personal opinion, I enjoyed the 16's ride better. Just my $.02......
