Default 06-07 GS350 17" Original wheels on 91 LS400

Will it fit and clear the brake calipers? Does anyone know? Has anyone seen a 1st gen with those wheels?

I'm pretty sure the GS350 has bigger calipers.

i have photoshopped those wheels on my car. They look great but i don't feel like spendin the money now. Check ebay, there's ths guy that sells "replicas" of lexus wheels. They are pretty much oem overstock. Pretty cheap too. Like 120-150 a wheel depending on design.

Pretty much any Lexus (non-SUV) wheel will fit a 1st-Gen LS400, due to it having the smallest calipers. Unless you've upgraded to BBK, it's a simple swap.

A-2GS wheels (the 17" on the 98-05ish) clear without any issues on the 1st gen.
B-the 3nd gen GS has bigger brakes than the 2nd gen.

therefore it will fit.
