Default Lexus OEM 16" wheels, spacers to make them sit flush??
I have a 96 GS and wanted to know how can I make the 16" 2nd Gen GS wheels (5-star style) sit flush with the body? Or is it even possible? Thanks!

Any idea on where I can purchase these at and for around what price? Are there any "cons" to using spacers? Thanks, 1BIGJZS147!

Check the vendors market place and club member market place. You can buy'm new or used. I put mine up in the 2nd gen gs classified.

You guys are on crack. They bolt right on. They only need a 15mm spacer
Those rims are already 35mm offset...

Twojayzee,

So, will the 15mm spacer make those wheels sit flush with the car? I really want a pair of the LS430 18in wheels but I have the 16in ones in my garage.
