Default GS300 2006 rims on '95 LS400?

My first post on this forum!
I have '95 LS and I was wondering if the GS300 2006 rims will clear the front brake calipers?


When I bought my car, an extra set of winter/snow tires came with it but without extra rims.
I could buy an extra set of used LS rims you might think, problem is that there aren't a lot of LS's on the road in the Netherlands!
These GS300 rims would be perfect for the tires I have in storage.
Couldn't find these specific rims on the forum yet, that's why I started a new topic.

edit:
found an example of the rim on a 2006 GS300:

your '91 has tiny brakes and therefore is a useless comparison since his brakes are the primary (read: only) issue from fitting any other stock lexus car wheels (except LS460 and ES250)

those will likely NOT clear your brakes iirc as the GS didnt get the BIG calipers until '07, in '06 it was only the 18" 5 spokes that will clear.

search for snow wheels in this forum, there are several lists available for which wheels will fit.

LOL perhaps you've never seen tiny brakes before on a cavalier or Escort, I sure wouldn't describe the 91 Ls400 brakes as tiny! Smaller compared to other generations but still powerful stopping.
