There are at leas three different style of wheel mounting hardware shapes.
Town Fair Tire - Wheel Lug Nut Seat Types

It is unlikely Lexus has invented totally new seat type. Therefore even if factory do not provide nuts or bolts to make old style work on new car or other way round aftermarket nuts and bolts are available.

Another meaningful questions are bolt pattern and hub size. Both might be changed also. If either is changed its bigger deal than change from nuts to bolts.

So will they work is good question. If its just change from nut to bolt answer is yes.

I do like them, but they look like a PITA to keep clean. That's an underappreciated aspect to the regular (uninspirational ) 5 spoke. They look good and are the easiest rims I've ever owned to keep clean. Partly due to their simplicity and also because there are no tight wedges with that design on a rim that large.

I have placed an order for 2025 MY LC500. Question for any 2024 MY owners - has anyone confirmed the bolt pattern and hub size for this MY update with lug bolts? I want to buy the Advan GT 21" that fits the 2017-2023 MY and get aftermarket lug bolts that will seat properly, but I haven't seen any clear information regarding the bolt pattern.

I still have the gel emblem overlays if anyone is interested. They are White and Black and go over the front and rear emblems and all 4 wheel cap centers:

Thank you. Do any of you know the length of the stock hub bolts?

27 or 28mm, don't recall exactly which. likely 28mm below the neck. M14x1.5 R14 ball seat, but obviously your new wheel will dictate the specific seat type needed.

Default changed out black to sliver lugs

2024 wheel with black lugs
2024 wheel with black lugs
changed black lugs to silver and it makes an improvement in my opinion at least.  not so black in the center is better...

So new wheels can fit lug nuts I wonder if old wheels can fit lug bolts too.

This is a quote from his other post. Don’t assume ‘24+ MY LC500 bolts will take previous MY wheels. They likely will not as the surface of the lug holes is different.

I had to purchase (not too common) M14x1.50 thread ball/radius seat - 19mm hex to properly mount. It was successful but unexpected. Not sure why the difference with Lexus OEM except I guess Japan market is different standard than US.

Of course you can find lug bolts that will work with previous model year LC500 wheels on ‘24+ LC500. IF you want to take the time and effort for that experiment.
I see no attraction to the previous MY wheels so I opted to go aftermarket for my second set of wheels with a manufacturer that will provide the bolts to seat their wheels properly without any guess work.

I'm surprised the '24 wheel looks sooo different with just the color "inversion"; and yes, they look simply awful IMO.
Wheels are such an individual preference, but these, c'mon man.
When my run-flat tires wear out, I'm considering some wider wheels of the 5-spoke variety, e.g., HF-1s, and will pass on the run-flats.
