your source shouldnt be around cars.
1-grinding down the caliper isn't really the smartest thing to do, you know, in case you ever have to STOP.
2-tuner lugs are the stupidest idea, why would you need those? lexus/toyota STOCK wheels ALL use flat/washer mount lugs. the other lugs would NOT work properly.

Go aftermarket with the wheels or get OEM ones from another Gen if you are just looking to change the appearance a little ( know that everyone is not rim money stocked). The Highlander rims (pictured above) don't look all that good to me on an LS. You can do soo much better with soo many other choices available.

This person wants to kill you. You need OEM nuts, not the Acorn tuner nuts. Acorn nuts are typically only used with an aftermarket wheel.
