Question Question about Lowenhart BR5'S.

Hey guys,
I have a friend selling some 20in. Lowenhart BR5'S. He has them on his Mercedes E55, my question is,
will they fit on an LS430? He keeps telling me that they will fit but, I've heard that the Mercedes bolt pattern is 112 x 5, and Lexus is 114 x 5. Is there anything I can do to make them fit without any problems? Please help me out guys because I would really like to get these wheels before he sells them. Thanks guys.

Who would be able to do something like that? Also, am I going to have a problem with the offset? Thanks.

how much is he asking for them, b/c you may be better off to just buy them new instead of going through the hastle of having them redrilled. There are probably many qualified machine shops in FL that can redrill them if you do deside to go that route. Good Luck

He has 20in. BR5'S with a 45 offset. Actually there off an S500 Benz. I assumed it was an E55 but I was wrong. Please let me know if they will fit an LS430 guys. I really want to buy these wheels. Thanks.
Btw, 20x10's out back and 20x9's in front.

Re-drilling isn't that big of a deal............Is this a good deal that you are getting? If it is then jump on it since to re-drill all four wheels is only $100.
