Default Lung nuts on rim?

Could someone tell me how many lung nuts on the rim of a LS430 there is.. I'd like to put some steel rims and tires (winter of course) on which I am using from a 1997 Cadillac STS.. I'm wondering if it has the same amount of holes.. Thanks..

There are 5. But be careful, even though the wheels may have 5 bolts...the bolt pattern may not be the same and the rims may not fit!

Do a comparison on bolt pattern first to ensure a proper fit!

I have no LS430 yet, but a 1997 cadi sts thats going to be replaced in the spring.. I'll have to ask a tire place who'll know if it will fit or not..

Check out www.tirerack.com and use their site to search for rims that are compatible with the 2 vehicles you are interested in. I think the rims that the system shows you as being compatible will have their bolt pattern specs and then you can just compare. Also here's their explanation of bolt/lug patterns:

Hope this helps,
