Do think these would fit on a 01 LS 430?The bolt pattern is the same it's just the offset on the RX wheels is medium and the offset on the LS430 is high. Will that change in offset create a problem?

I purchase these brand new 19x7.5 inch RX F sport rims for my GS400. After buying the recommended tire size for the GS 245/35/19 from tirerack.com I later found after talking to a representative, due to the load capacity of my GS the RX rims were too narrow to support the weight of vehicle. Tire rack claims if I use the setup the tires would wear out early, would get uneven tire wear, sidewall bubbles. So I sold the wheels & got 2014 GS F sport

ort rims

A current RX weighs about 700lbs more than a 2GS. The 245/35 is just too wide for the 7.5" wheel. A 225/40-19 would work on a 7.5" wheel and is available with an appropriate load rating but comes in a bit taller at 26.1, matching the size of stock 16s.

Shockingly, that was already answered about 7 and a half years ago in this thread, and people just didn't read it.
